lyrics

I’ve been cheating on myself
I stare awake in front of the television,
If it’s not something it’s something else,
Telling me just what to believe in,
You could tell me that the world is on fire,
And I’d look for a second opinion,
We trust mistrust until it suits our desires,
Us versus them is the brand new religion?
We take no credit we just all play the victim

We’ve got a better chance of passing,
Through the eye of a needle,
Then getting passed through those pearly gates,
When we can’t look in the mirror,

God hates flags,
God hates flags,
No one is perfect we’re all living proof,
Cuz god hates flags,

I’ve got these wolves on my shoulder,
We speak the same broken language,
They’re drawing lines with my body parts,
Electroshock all our baggage,

God hates flags,
God hates flags,
No one is perfect we’re all living proof,
Cuz god hates flags,

We trust mistrust but we don’t see our reflection,
No self analysis we need full self dissection,
They make a choice behind closed doors for their cause,
While air raid sirens are met with roaring applause,
They’ll fill our cadavers with kerosine and oily rags,
And use our corpses as molotov body bags.
