Lyrics

[Verse 1]
They used to wear the sign on the right hand side
And now they send you letters asking you to subscribe
So they can nod  their heads while he hates you loud
Saying, you don't say, no you don't say, you don't say
Switching hands to show it's freedom of choice
You better speak now before you confuse the voices
Don't feed the animals, they'll only take you in
[Verse 2]
They planted all the corpses on the side of the house
And now they act surprised that they're beginning to sprout
And now they old man's walking around and around
Saying, it's my turn, now it's my turn, it's my turn
[Verse 3]
And he conspires with the pig who's been ousted
They're hoping that you never figure it out now
Don't feed the animals, they'll only come back again
They come back again
[Verse 4]
They're hiding in all the corners and the cracks of the culture
Then they stay there and hide until it's just the right cult
Of personality to power and absorb all their shame
And say, it's okay now, it's okay, it's okay
And promises to send the problems away
So they can wash their hands when they discover the mass graves
[Verse 5]
Don't feed the animals, they'll only  feign innocence
Hey, hey, hey
They are the judge and jury once they've finally found you
And they send out the skeletons to go out and round up
All the prophets and the powerless to put them on trial
Before they're shot down, you get shot down, you're shot down
Or else they're gonna try to get you to join them
But just don't try to say that we didn't warn you
Don't feed the animals, you could become one of them
[Verse 6]
Hey, hey, hey
This is a final round up, this is a heart attack
This is a final round up, this is a heart attack
This is a final round up, this is a heart attack
