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
