Lyrics
Downfall
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.
They want all for one and none for all
I want to be there to witness the downfall
They'll only sell us out once our backs are turned
And we'll keep paying the price until our lesson is learnt
So cast your votes
Watch them shed their skin
Every snake has its price
If the money's on the table they don't think twice
So cast your votes, watch them shed their skin
We are paralysed
But there are none so blind as those who will not see
What's it going to take to get us to stand up?
'Cause you can see it in their eyes, they don’t give a fuck
About what matters to us
Another faceless figure, an empty silhouette
They'll line their pockets and leave us six feet deep in debt
So cast your votes, watch them shed their skin
Always out for blood, praying on the weak
We can count on them to paint the future bleak
But we're still standing by whilst they bleed us dry
We are paralysed
But there are none so blind as those who will not see
What's it going to take to get us to stand up?
'Cause you can see it in their eyes, they don't give a fuck
About what matters to us
So enough is enough
What's it going to take to get us to stand up?
'Cause you can see it in their eyes, they don’t give a fuck
Right and wrong it's all the same to me
Thick as thieves as far as I can see
They are leeches all (they are leeches all)
Right and wrong it's all the same to me
Thick as thieves as far as I can see (I can see)
They are leeches all, but we’re still standing by whilst they bleed us dry
They want all for one and none for all
I want to be there to witness the downfall
We are paralysed
They want all for one and none for all
I want to be there to witness the downfall
