I pushed the button and elected him to office and uh
He pushed the button and he dropped the bomb
You pushed the button and could watch it on the television
Those motherfuckers didn't last too long uh-uh

I'm sick of hearing about the have's and the have not's
Have some personal accountability
The biggest problem with the way that we been doing things is

hey man
please don't make a sound
take a look around
can't you see what's right in front of you?
aah
have a little taste
no more time to waste
you don't want to get left behind, because it's all coming down right now
now - how
hard is it to see?
put your faith in me
i sure wouldn't want to be
praying to the wrong piece of wood
you should
get where you belong
everything you know is wrong

Watch the sun,
As it crawls across a final time
And it feels like,
Like it was a friend.
It is watching us,
And the world we set on fire
Do you wonder,
If it feels the same?

And the sky is filled with light
Can you see it?
All the black is really white
If you believe it
As your time is running out
Let me take away your doubt
You can find a better a place
In this twilight

Dust to dust,

Well it's happening
Never planned on this
You've got something I need
Kind of dangerous
And I'm losing control
I'm not used to this
What you want from me
I'm not used to this

I can't shut it off
This thing I've begun
And it's hard to tell
Just where it's coming from
And it's hard to see
What I'm capable of
And it's hard to believe
Just, what I've become

Hey, can we stop
Me, I'm not

Right now a big decision
Violence as polished steel
This is something different
Don't know how big this feels
No time for asking questions
No time for wondering
We've had enough of you now
You've heard everything

You want to play a new game
You put on this blindfold
You do what we tell you
You do as you're told
Used to be the leader
Now comes the time to serve
Maybe we'll show some mercy

You and I, we may look the same
But we are very far apart
There's bullet-holes where my compassion used to be
And there is violence in my heart

Into fire you can send us
From the fire we return
You can label us a consequence
Of how much you have to learn

You can try but you'll never understand
This is something you will never understand
Can you hear it now?
Hear it coming now?

I should have listened to her
So hard to keep control
We kept on eating but
Our bloated belly's still not full
She gave us all she had but
We went and took some more
Can't seem to shut her legs
Our mother nature is a whore

I got my propaganda
I got revisionism
I got my violence
In hi-def ultra-realism
All a part of this great nation
I got my fist
I got my plan
I got survivalism

Down on your knees
You'll be left behind
This is the beginning
Watch what you think
They can read your mind
This is the beginning
I got my mark, see it in my eyes
This is the beginning
Well my reflection I don't recognize
This is the beginning

We think we've climbed so high
Up all the backs we've condemned
We face no consequence
This is the beginning of the end

You wait your turn

Gunfire in the street
Where we used to meet
Echoes that are beat
When the bass goes "bomb"
Right over my head
Step over the dead
Remember what you said

You know a part of my old life
Is just a waking dream
Well I know what you mean
But that ain't how it seems right here, right now

How can this be real?
I can hardly feel
Anymore

I am trying to see
I am trying to believe

Say your name.
Try to speak as clearly as you can.
You know everything gets written down.
Nod your head.
Just in case they could be watching.
With their shiny satellite.

I hope they cannot see.
The limitless potential.
Living inside of me.
To murder everything.
I hope they cannot see.
I am the great destroyer.

Turn it up.
Listen to the shit they pump into your head.
Filling you with apathy.

Breathe... us in
Breathe... slowly
Breathe... us in
Slowly...

Everything you do,
Everywhere you go,
Anything we want
Anything

Persuasion (slowly)
Coercion (slowly)
Selection (breathe)
Assimilation (us in)

Breathe... us in
Slowly...
Slowly...

Some say it was a warning
Some say it was a sign
I was standing right there
When it came down from the sky
The way it spoke to us
We felt it from inside
Said it was up to us
Up to us to decide

You've become a virus
That's eaten up its host
We've been watching you with all our eyes
And what you seem to value most
"So much potential" or so we used to say

I let you put it in my mouth
I let it get under my skin
I let you put it in my veins
I let you take me from within

They tell us what we can and cannot do
Same thing we heard a hundred times before
When I put you inside of me,
none of that matters anymore

Oh my God, can it go any faster?
Oh my God, I don't think I can last here

I am you and you are me
We will never be alone

God have mercy on our souls
God have mercy on our dirty little hearts
We just wanted to know what it was like
All we are worth is zeros and ones
