Everybody wants a little piece of the tragedy
The blood you bleed is the lifeblood of the industry
Make another martyr out of all the poor and and victimized
To keep the cycle of abuse around the world alive

The cuts and bruises are held under the microscope
The cuts and bruises are the evidence of dying hope
All the little pieces are so razor sharp and jagged egded
To reassemble is to separate bone and flesh

You will not see the link between the suffering
And little Nazis who pull the levers and strings

All across the world, another flag unfurled
The shadow spreads like fire through every screen and wire
All across the world, another flag unfurled
The shadow spreads like fire through every screen and wire

You'll get your bitter little sample, just the same as me
The only difference is how we choose to handle it
You swallow for the greater good while I will take my aim

And spit right in the face of modern twisted common sense
Right in the face of all the ladies and gents
Who take advantage of every shock and every tear
To tighten up their strangle hold more, year by year

One by one, manipulate
Twist reality to get anything they want

All across the world, another flag unfurled
The shadow spreads like fire through every screen and wire
All across the world, another flag unfurled
The shadow spreads like fire through every screen and wire

One by one, manipulate
Twist reality to get anything they want
