This is not a plea for peace but a call to war

though some shall decease and some shall suffer more some

see the light and turn and fight knowing that burning bright

is it's own reward

like a star goes nova before it dies

let's overthrow the thrones expose the lies

or aren't you sick of being victimized?

This is not a time for talk but a time to act

get up and walk it off or die lying on your back

pick up the pace or we lose the race

it's time to face up to what we lack

there's things you want and things you need

a brand new SUV a new disease

hi-def don't show no real realities.

[Chorus:]

Two steps back is a losing battle

and I don't think it's ever gonna stop

one push back and it's the gallows

one snap they call it suicide by cop.

Another old man in the same dead age

another blank space on an empty page

"the future is unwritten" yeah it's all the rage

but ain't no one writing shit in this fucking cage

except marks on a wall as days pass by

we chip away until we die

our legacies these bloody lullabies.

Two thousand and eight another bummer

not a sound from the encumbered numbers

no not a peep 'cos the scars run deep

so awash in grief we escape to slumber

who can sleep in these beds they made?

good fucking joke short sheet a shallow grave

alarm clock ringing bring the dead.
