“Thank you, Mr. Officer great
For all the things you said to me
For all the good that you have ever done
Without you, what would I be?
You’re the gas upon my flames
My love and rage all roll up into one
For every time your gun goes off, a new rebel is born
So when there’s 41 bullets
There’s 41 thousand thorns in your side
We’ll take a ride down to precinct 29
And we’ll sing and dance and break the code of silence

Thank you, governor, thank you, governor
To the mayor and the commissioner
Your monster is alive now
She’s taken to the streets
Crashing through your opera house and tearing out the seats
For all the times you sign your name
Someone out there dies
Found a wallet, not a gun
A mother wipes a tear from her eyes
We despise
Your hollow truths and honest lies
Now you can sing the monster into slumber

Thanks, Bastards, you made me what I am
Thanks, bastards, I took the goods and ran
Thanks, Bastards, you made me what I am
Thanks, bastards, I took the goods and ran
I took the goods and ran
I took the goods and ran
I took the goods and ran

Homeland security vs. civil liberty
I’m studying in the shadows of our state
I seen the bones they tried to hide
Cutthroat living’s other side
The Flood of US bath water displaced
The funeral march of all the victims of your power war
Rob the right to steal the night and rebels shall be born
For ever more
You’re the storm we should play after it pours
And joy is sure to come after your silence
And joy is sure to come after your silence

Thanks, Bastards, you made me what I am
Thanks, bastards, I took the goods and ran
Thanks, Bastards, you made me what I am
Thanks, bastards, I took the goods and ran
I took the goods and ran
I took the goods and ran
I took the goods and ran” illbjjb

“”It’s all hopelessness, but we add hope
In a sea of, of hopelessness.”
The air stings my eyes
The water burns my skin
I’ve seen the reactions through my actions
But I don’t try to change a thing at all
We’re taught to close our eyes
And conditioned to believe their lies
As we watch them r*** the land and skies
To build the things that own our lives
And we’ll never stop
Were driven by greed
We’ll never stop
We take more than we need
And we’ll never stop
Our society
And they’ll never stop
The politicians with their lies
The corporations won’t compromise
Still we refuse to change our lives
And we all fall down
All fall down
We all fall down
All fall down
All fall down
And we all fall down
All fall down
We all fall down
All fall down
We do what is convenient for
Ourselves without regard for our surroundings
Or each other and take what we want
And discard
The rest never looking back at the damage
That we’ve done
Always moving forward
Closer to oblivion
And we all fall down
All fall down”
