Lyrics
The New Flesh
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.
We are born into a time of innocent Americans attacked for trying to job while some Bin Laden motherfucker takes the credit, but instead of heading to Afghanistan to take him out they went to bomb Iraq and kill some families.
Children die because of some imaginary weapons and to find one of the many, many terrorists upon the planet meanwhile the psychopaths accountable for killing every innocent are all sitting safely out of range.
Armageddon orchestrated, televised and exaggerated.
We were lied to and we won't get fooled again.
We are, we are, we are the new flesh,
we are, we are the only ones left.
We're the dog you beat down once too much.
We're the cornered rat that will fight back.
We are born into a time our population is divided, poor and hungry people share the planet with the wealthy and the multi-billion industries pay politicians, actors and musicians more than it would take to shelter all the homeless, and the governments ignore the under funding of researching into mental health, allowing over 70% of people under-educated while the suicides per annum keep increasing and narcotics keep the treated pacified.
Fame and fortune un-donated by the over paid and the over rated.
We were lied to and we won't get fooled again.
We are, we are, we are the new flesh,
We are, we are the only ones left.
We're the dog you beat down once too much.
We're the cornered rat that will fight back.
We are, we are, we are the new flesh,
We are, we are the only ones left.
We're the dog you beat down once too much.
We're the cornered rat that will fight back.
This virus breeds inside your system.

We are, we are, we are the new flesh,
We are, we are the only ones left.
We're the dog you beat down once too much.
We're the cornered rat that will fight back.
We are, we are, we are the new flesh,
We are, we are the only ones left.
We're the dog you beat down once too much.
We're the cornered rat that will fight back.
We are, we are, we are the new flesh,
We are, we are the only ones left.
We're the dog you beat down once too much.
We're the cornered rat that will fight back.
This virus breeds inside your system.
