My bones carry me home Through the back roads Where I’m never exposed And my cries are buried inside I swallow my pride Everyday my life closes in And I wake to another handhake The system breaks whatever it takes away Full force forever on course Through the back roads Through the back roads
Set back I’m losing my tact In the tall grass Where they’re hunting in packs On the war path Where they follow my tracks My heart keeps skipping beats And I’m catching breaths And this life has taken its toll Another lost soul in another black hole Those sane are forever in pane And I can’t close my eyes for the fear of death
Exchanging love for war Watch your dreams of freedom fall away Today And I can’t close my eyes I’ve got nothing left On course to lose it all Smash your TV through the wall and pray Today You’re free to do whatever they say
Man-made battle through rage On the back page Found dead in his cage In the rat race Working minimum wage No one sheds a tear for those left to die My hands tied So damn tired Left to hide with my spiritual guide And those sane are forever in pain The system breaks whatever it takes away
Exchange your love for war Watch your dreams of freedom fall away Today And I can’t close my eyes for the fear of death One force to rule us all Smash your TV through the wall and pray Today You’re free to do whatever they say
Yeah, yeah, yeah Oh, oh, ohhhhh Oh, oh, ohhhhh
Compromise is blind till there’s nothing left Exchanging love for war Watch your dreams of freedom fall away Today And I can’t close my eyes for my life’s regrets On course to lose it all Smash your TV through the wall and pray Today I can’t close my eyes for the fear of death One force to rule us all Stand your ground or look the other way Today You’re free to do whatever they say
