How many walls can you put up?
How many guns 'til you feel safe?
How many times can we watch this story
Over and over and over again?
And how many years have we wasted
Counting the lies that we've been fed?
For something to change we have waited
Over and over and over again
I'm entertained by the monkey on your back
But can we still call it a joke
If no one laughs?
It's either going up in smoke around me
Or according to plan
A bittersweet disaster
Mounting over and over again
How many walls can you put up?
How many guns 'til you feel safe?
How many times can we watch this story
Over and over and over again?
How many years have we wasted
Counting the lies that we've been fed?
For something to change we have waited
Over and over and over again
Chasing our own tail
The more we learn, the less we know
As the monsters lost in history
And now making their return
As we bow down!
Roll out the carpet red as rose
We should have known
How many walls can you put up?
How many guns 'til you feel safe?
How many times can we watch this story
Over and over and over again?
How many years have we wasted
Counting the lies that we've been fed?
For something to change we have waited
Over and over and over again!
How many walls?
How many guns?
How many times?
Over and over and over again
Over and over and over again
And how many lives have been wasted?
How many bodies laid to rest?
Sick of the lies, the same old story
All over and over and over and over
Over and over and over and over again!
