lyrics

It’s a sharp knife between greed and ambition
You start to question what you’ve been given
Everybody’s buying when they’re selling division
And it’s all waiting for you on your television

It’s a tightrope walk between red and blue
Watch the Friday night fight, the riveting show
They’re fighting each other, who’s fighting for you?

It’s a short night reaching, and a long day working
Clocking in, checking out, and crashing down
It’s a waking dream until you pull back the curtain

It’s a war on water, it’s a war on the pavement
Awards for the puppet and the overseer
And the weapon is hunger and the method is hatred

It’s a tightening chokehold on what you see
Who points the camera, who points the gun?
If the evidence points back, then why would they screen it?

It’s a sharp knife between shame and sedition
You start to question what you’ve been missing
Everybody’s armed to defend the old position
And it’s all waiting for you
