Lyrics
Diatribes
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.
Bite the bit, scream till you're blue the face. [x4]
Nice pipe dreams or passive revolution? [x4]
Foot soldiers
With weapons of placarde and banners.
How will they stop the rot?
No standing to reason,
'cause reason is treason -
It doesn't feasible.
No standing to reason,
'cause reason is treason -
It doesn't feasible.
Lie down.
And cry all you can.
The machine rolls over you.
No standing to reason,
'cause reason is treason -
It doesn't feasible.
No standing to reason,
'cause reason is treason -
It doesn't feasible.
It just don't seem feasible - no!
Black to the NAzi - try pleading affinity
Hands up, boot in, shattering the passive dream.
But is it right to tolerate this fucked democratic process? - no!
Shattering the passive dream
Is it 'cause we like to hear the sound of our voice?
Big-hearted diatribes, just like my dilemma.
Time to return compliments, shattering the passive dream?
