We'Re Pounding On the Walls

We're pounding on the walls to watch the cities fall
We're pounding on the walls to watch the cities fall
We're pounding on the walls to watch the cities fall
We're pounding on the walls to watch the cities fall

Prepare to challenge every belief you've ever held
Just don't be surprised by how quickly they're felled

Everything you thought you knew was a ruse
To amuse those who would ignite the fuse

The skylines are ablaze with the flames of change
Yet beneath the turmoil is a tranquility so strange

Neighbors become brutal enemies bloodied by combat
As the arteries of the city falter combatants go splat

We're pounding on the walls to watch the cities fall
We're pounding on the walls to watch the cities fall
We're pounding on the walls to watch the cities fall
We're pounding on the walls to watch the cities fall

All of this bloodshed to weed out what is different
Another lost life becomes another soul spent

Ignorance gave way to gibberish and then blistering bickering
And while politicians are shivering society is withering

This is what happens when the few push the many
Because a single life is worth more than a penny

And that penny is what we set on the table 
As if it will support our lives, it's such a fable

We're pounding on the walls to watch the cities fall
We're pounding on the walls to watch the cities fall
We're pounding on the walls to watch the cities fall
We're pounding on the walls to watch the cities fall

This is what happens when the few push the many
Because a single life is worth more than a penny

And that penny is what we set on the table 
As if it will support our lives, it's such a fable

Prepare to challenge every belief you've ever held
Just don't be surprised by how quickly they're felled

Everything you thought you knew was a ruse
To amuse those who would ignite the fuse

We're pounding on the walls to watch the cities fall
We're pounding on the walls to watch the cities fall
We're pounding on the walls to watch the cities fall
We're pounding on the walls to watch the cities fall
