it only takes a second to change a life
how many loaded moments were ignored going by?
violence is king; violence is law
must a man give everything he has to his god?
chasing unreachable ends
seeing unforgivable acts
means that can’t be justified
all for the prayer of paradise
the wheels of war will not cease to turn
you and I will be left in the lurch
offer your hands and they’ll break your back
there’s no way to get ahead in their system
your integrity will crack
indoctrinated and beholden to them
stranglehold on the everyman
born to serve the ivory tower’s plan
no god in heaven, just lords of war
don’t volunteer shit; they always take more
just pass me by
you don’t got a dog in this fight
not gonna join
don’t tell me to follow
don’t draw that line
live and die beholden to none
