Wake Up and Die

I watch the peddles fall but my eyes are dry I just can’t remember a better time Now the skies grow dim and birds won’t fly Yah there’s nothing I see that’ll make it shine I see rolling balls and empty hands The world is shameless for those who can’t even stand And the man in slacks who speaks on the podium His lies preaching out how we’re not alone. So wake up and die Dig out your graves Prepare for the laughter Through the haze Too much loss Prevented your gains Rise up with your brothers Cause we’re all the same The bars are easy to fill and life’s been too hard So quick to get into and not too far Drinking wasted taxes and politician’s lies Hiding back your distaste right behind your eyes Singing about the railroad and the power of love Shoulda brought them together before they sung Now they’ve chased them back to a life of pain Their lies preaching still how we’re all the same Going backwards we can’t accept the past Moving forwards we hope we’ll last run by lords we see power from their hands walk by love and we’ll take a stand
