Silent War

I am running out of fingers

I am running out of toes

On which to count the main offenders

And my dandy little foes

The future's gone ballistic

Cos the past lost all control

I'm calling back the order

I'm stealing back the soul

Do you like me when sedated

All bound up and medicated?

To receive is overrated, yeah

(We can make a deal tonight)

Shame and hate have copulated

Love should be reciprocated

Now let's see if you can take it, yeah

(We can make a deal tonight)

The papers never lie

The sweetest alibi

You signed with your own hand

The men they could not hang

This is the silent war

There won't be anymore

And though the wall is gone

We're still afraid as one

Yeah you're running out of rations

While you're serving up the law

With which you're sending out of fashion

As you tear it with your claw

With all this information, tell me,

What you gonna do?

Can you tame a nation?

Can you lift what's in your noose?

Do you like me when sedated
