Ancestors
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.
Lost between love and hate
We lived in a dream world
Cut off from real feelings (feelings)
Manipulated by monsters
Unable to change anything
We lived alone, together
Encouraged to cultivate selfishness
Deprived of our own mind
(We knew nothing)
We knew nothing
We were like a herd of morons
pushed to slaughter
pushed to slaughter
They've killed a thousand people
With a slight of their hand
We cannot turn back and fight again
You don't know the war
It's swallowing you and you'll be dead and gone
So kids before being spint on the floor
Head on back!
You don't know the war
It's swallowing you
You're dead and gone
Head on back!
As if the only way to change things was just with politics
Stuck in the pain
Society was to be our grave
Stuck in the mass
Society was to be our grave
We elected men each one worse than the other
They've killed a thousand people
With a slight of their hand
We cannot turn back and fight again
You don't know the war
It's swallowing you and you'll be dead and gone
So kids before being spint on the floor
Head on back!
You don't know the war
It's swallowing you
No turning back
