Lyrics

Always accuse the other side of that of which you're guilty
And if they catch you in a lie remind your people that they're filthy
And if they prove what you deny call into question their intentions
They never can although they try to keep up with all your inventions
Who took our money
Who took our jobs
Who's behind the curtain with the dials and the knobs
Who has all the power and who's the one he robs
Who took our money
Who took our jobs
And how far would you go to prove you've got a good soul
Fall to your knees
In case someone sees
(Is someone telling you to kill)
Kill with your own hand
Fight for your holy land
Watch the blood purify the sand
You've got your scapegoat
You've got your easy way out
You've got your scapegoat
(You've got your scapegoat)
You've got your easy way out
Let them make up their little minds or try to while you keep them guessing
They'll never turn on their own kind and if they do they'll learn a lesson
(Just asking questions)
Who took our money
(Who took our money)
Who took our jobs
(Who took our jobs)
Who buys and sells the guns and who pays the mobs
(Who pays them)
Who puts a price tag on the bodies and the sobs
Who took our money
Who took our jobs
And how far would you go to prove you've got a good soul
How far would you slide to save yourself a little pride
Would you fall to your knees
Even if nobody sees
(Tell me truly would you kill)
Would you kill with your own hand
Over a strip of sand
Watch the blood polluting every land
You've got your scapegoat
(Get what you want, what you've got to do)
You've got your easy way out
You've got your scapegoat
(Get what you want, get it off of you)
You've got your easy way out
(Such an easy way out)
I'll take a sip
I'll try to stall
Until the trip
I'll watch you fall
And on the ground
I'll make you crawl
I'll take the hit
I'll take it all
How far would you go to prove you've got a good soul
How far would you slide to save yourself a little pride
Would you fall to your knees
Even if nobody sees
(If you could take what you please)
Would you strike him where he stands
Cut down a fellow man
Watch his blood spread across your hands
You've got your scapegoat
(Not what you thought, what you got, you got)
You've got your easy way out
You've got your scapegoat
(Haunted or not, what you wanted you got)
You've got your easy way out
(Such an easy way out)
You've got your scapegoat
(You've got your scapegoat)
You've got your easy way out
(You've got your easy way out, your easy way out)
You've got your scapegoat
(You've got your scapegoat)
You've got your easy way out
(Such an easy way when you've got your)
Scapegoat
Scapegoat
(Such an easy way when you've got your)
Scapegoat
You need a scapegoat
Where is your easy way out
Am I your scapegoat
Is this your easy way
