Modern Day Napoleon
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Such a hawk
Not a dove
Do you really believe in the god above?
Took control when we found ourselves in sticky situations
Not a gesture of love, but self appreciation
Idleness
Webs of time
Treacheries you undermined
Now you find yourself in a sticky situation
We laugh as you drown in your own humiliation
Chorus:
Search for the truth, wade through the lies
A smiling face is your disguise
Eye for a tooth, tooth for an eye
Abused out trust and broke our ties
Waste a week
Save a dime
Raping the scene, now you?re a victim of the crime
Using us pawns for your games of complication
We suffered because of your ill procrastination
Lots of plans
None complete
Never would you, could you accept defeat
Kept us locked in a state of suspended animation
Didn?t want to let go, clung on like a damn mutation
Chorus
Such a hawk
Not a dove
Do you really believe in the god above?
Took control when we found ourselves in sticky situations
Not a gesture of love, but self appreciation
Idleness
Webs of time
Treacheries you undermined
Now you find yourself in a sticky situation
We laugh as you drown in your own humiliation
Chorus
