Lyrics
Authority Lies
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.
Blood on their hands, lies in their eyes,
When they speak they talk about sacrifice
Men in black suits, women with ties,
People in uniform
We're their alibies
We keep them alive
They control our lives
Then all of us die
People in control they're few
Pulling the strings attached to you
Lies are told until they're true
Taking what little is left from you
Liars, liars
Destroyers of us all
Liars, liars, liars
Revenge, revenge
Stand up tall, fight them all
Fight the system or prepare to fall
No retreat against the heat
Kick them in the meat
Resist the wrong, it won't be long
Before they're gone
Time for death is set so don't forget
This is your life
You have the right to your rights
Don't throw your dice
They'll put out your lights
Chorus
Don't accept betrayal
Stand up to authority
And let the truth prevail
When our future is our own
We build our own homes
So stand up young
Destroy the guns
Chorus
