Load, Aim, Fire, Repeat...

So here we stay in this "paradise" shackled to a jail cell
Looking to the skies to see which form of hatred would prevail
Meanwhile we're stuck in hell...
Dying to make a poet's mistake and bail
Out...i'm leaving with the tigers, i'm not deceiving or strikingly astonishing
At least I show my true colors, the ones I believe in
I don't hide behind a flag falling to the ground because the lack of wind
How can we cure our sins when we don't know where to begin?
Politics has become more along the lines of x-rated propaganda
X...not meaning anything near exquisite
All they did was put together a story for you...
At least i don't fake it, i'll tell you the truth...

Yeah, I'm not going to lie to you anymore
I'm not deceiving when I speak of sabotage
But since we all stand divided...
Tell me...
What color is your camouflage?

All they ever did was pick apart the day and put the pieces back together their way
Socialism died in the days of the past, up in flames...
..and yet they still try to make us breathe on the fumes alone
Where are we going in this pretensive nature? Freedom? What's that?
A right to choose, a right to lose your life to governmental abuse
Yes, i know the truth but what's the use?
You won't be laughing when the guns point our way...
And watch all the people sway...
We've been had by the past and that's all i can say

Yeah, I'm not going to lie to you anymore
I'm not deceiving when I speak of sabotage
But since we all stand divided...
Tell me...
What color is your camouflage?

The phone rings, you drop your cigarette and walk to the voicebox
Life is a countdown like the one on your wristwatch
Tick tock, drop the knife, grab the gun, steal your life, have some fun
and blow away sensitivity...
as it echoes like the broken hearts of a thousand independant beings
when will we solve this mistake and finally yield...
When the devil is scraping frost off his windshield.

Since you hide your colors, then i'll tell you mine..
It's black so i can blend in with everyone in this line

Load it.
Shoot it.
Divided.
