Lyrics
Drastic
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.
So what once seemed so drastic is now commonplace
And they're driving machines down the lines on our face
There's no shame there's no mercy not even a trace
With our bombs and our pills we think we've made things safe
Maybe we'd be better off with our heads in the sand
And they'd leave us to drown here according to plan
But if this ships going down you'll find me with the band
Because they've pushed us all right to the edge
And we're on the brink
And they've pushed us all right to the edge
They're claiming the answer is kill or be killed
While we're dying of cancer and paying our bills
We just drown in this quagmire of what we've been told
While they're cashing the checks on the faith that we sold
They've got no allegiance to pledge
They've left us out here on this ledge
