The statues on the town squares Don’t know the people don’t care They bow for them, but they can all agree The statues on the town squares Are not supposed to be there And the people too are not where they wanna be Prepare, the end is near So where are you gonna go? We’re facing revolution, run and hide But we will never let you go No we’ll never ever let you Go go go go We’re facing revolution, run and hide But we will never let you go No we’ll never let you go So wreck the system It’s alright They’ve never ever been polite Honest, caring or a delight So prepare, the end is near So prepare, the end is near So where are you gonna go? We’re facing revolution, run and hide But we will never let you go No we’ll never ever let you Go go go go We’re facing revolution, run and hide But we will never let you go No we’ll never let you go Well, it’s a big fat case of ‘your back against the wall’ It’s time to wreck it all It’s time to wreck it all So where are you gonna go? We’re facing revolution, run and hide But we will never let you go No we’ll never ever let you Go go go go We’re facing revolution, run and hide But we will never let you go So now you know That where ever you go You’re facing revolution, run and hide No we’ll never let you Go go go go We’re facing revolution, run and hide But we will never let you go

Clint Hill 03:18
Unfamiliarity Has gotten the best of me The state’s dried up like Moses’ sea Nothing’s as it used to be I still have this overwhelming fear That has lived inside of me for years That I was almost never there Far too late to say my prayers I’ve kept secrets like I always did And some other’s fears I hid But since that day I keep losing it And no candles were ever lit Once I jumped out of a moving car And it hasn’t gotten me that far ‘Cause my love for our stripes and stars Was not enough to save her heart I wish I could pick up the pieces But not like she did when I messed up Please help me get through this, oh Jesus I wish that I could make it stop The white house wasn’t made for this The walls paint such a blood-red kiss I’m not quite sure just what it is But, there’s still something that I miss Well I didn’t do it, but I haven’t tried And the feeling tears me up inside Well I didn’t do it, but I haven’t tried No I haven’t I wish I could pick up the pieces But not like she did when I messed up Please help me get through this, oh Jesus I wish that I could make it stop

I fought it Took it Just fine, just fine, oh On the outside It looks like I've tried, I've tried to let go I know That you're one of the Capulets And I can't be a part of it, but still I know That I wouldn't wanna kill myself I don't belong here I'm not your friend And you can play it as you want I don't belong here I'm not your friend And you can play it as you want I died And felt fine Just fine, just fine, oh With a sword stuck In my spine I never cried, I never cried, and it shows That God knows The things you've done and the things you've said I don't wanna be part of it, and still I know That I wouldn't wanna kill myself I don't belong here I'm not your friend And you can play it as you want I don't belong here I'm not your friend And you can play it as you want

Democracy 03:34
When I I I, left you to die that haunting night Tore me up inside. But I I I, regret that lie And it’s too late to try To make it right I did not plan on making things Harder than when they first appeared But somehow it turned out this way And I can’t stand the sight of me Democracy can’t figure me out When I I I, left you to die that haunting night Tore me up inside. But I I I, regret that lie And it’s too late to try To make it right Voted for, devoted to None of these are clear or true I can’t enjoy being free all day When I see your blood being washed away Democracy can’t figure me out The end is near without a doubt Democracy can’t figure me out When I I I, left you to die that haunting night Tore me up inside But I I I, regret that lie And it’s too late to try To make it right
