Democracy Is Dead

DEMOCRACY IS DEAD (CLEAN)

VERSE 1
Television is rotting all your brains
The government has you kneeling in chains
The media decides everything you think
And you just sit there cause you're f****** sheep
but give voice to your desperate cries
And you are met with downright lies
It's hard to watch this pure insanity
Because you worship your precious misery

CHORUS 1
Rampant corruption destroying our world
The lies of our leaders have slowly unfurled
They revel in your apathy draw strength from your tears
They manipulate your mind to keep you in constant fear

BRIDGE 1
And you don't want to exist
In a world such as this
But you are too scared to fight back
So the oppression will persist

BRIDGE 2
All your freedom, taken from right in front of you
A million lies, no end in sight what should we do
And if we fight, where do we draw the line in the sand
Of who should die, should we just kill those in command
Or everyone, who took their orders without a thought
The politicians, who allowed themselves to be bought
The president, a puppet with a hand up his a**
The populace, who allow the government to harass

VERSE 2
Destruction of poverty is what we desire Our economy set on fire
A reconstruction of privilege and wealth to ensure
That the lower class lives in health and be sure
That the ones in charge are responsible
For every decision they've made it's unfathomable
That they can get away with murder while we die
When everything they say in court is f****** lies Lies

CHORUS 2
Accountability needs to be reinstated in our government
Human rights shouldn't just exist in our head
It's time to immolate the system
Cause democracy is dead
