Lyrics

New Constitution

WELL THE RICH GET RICHER AND THE POOR GET POORER
AND THE WISE MAN HEADS FOR THE HILLS
IT’S SAD BUT EXPECTED DON’T DENY THAT YOU’RE INFECTED
TAKE A HIT AND TURN YOUR NIGHTMARES INTO THRILLS

THERE’S A NEW CONSTITUTION BUT THE SAME RESOLUTION
TO REPEAT THE FAILED LESSONS OF THE PAST
SACRIFICING SOULS TO THE INTERNET TROLLS
AS THE SAND POURS THROUGH THE HOURGLASS

LEMMINGS ON THE ROAD TO THE NEW REALITY
PRISONERS OF THE WAY IT’S ALWAYS BEEN

WELL THE POWER CHANGES HANDS BUT THE NEW KINGS OF THE LAND
ALWAYS SEEM TO BE A LITTLE BIT WORSE
SHAKING OUR HEADS WE WANT THE OTHER GUY INSTEAD
IT SEEMS THAT WE ARE TRAPPED IN THIS CURSE

THE DOG BITES THE HAND AND THE JESTER FLOGS HIS BRAND
AND THE REFUGEES THEY RUN FOR THE HILLS
DEER IN THE HEADLIGHTS SNOWED BY THE BLUE LIGHT
AS THE ENEMY MOVES IN FOR THE KILL

FETTERED BY THE LESSONS WE DON’T LEARN FROM HISTORY
PRISONERS OF THE WAY IT’S ALWAYS BEEN

OH THE FAKERS AND THE HATERS
AND THE TUNED-OUT-CAN’T-RELATORS
THAT THRIVE ON THE CYBER SURREAL
BEGGERS CAN’T BE CHOOSERS
DON’T BE SIDING WITH THE LOSERS
TO BE PAINLESS YOU CONSENT NOT TO FEEL

LEMMINGS ON THE ROAD TO THE NEW REALITY
PRISONERS OF THE WAY IT’S ALWAYS BEEN
LEMMINGS ON THE CLIFF OF THE NEW REALITY
PRISONERS OF THE WAY IT’S ALWAYS BEEN
