Did you hear the latest one 

About the footprints on your back 

About how they lied 

About how they stole 

To keep each other in the black 



I really wonder when it all comes down 

Who will be dancing at the finish line 

Ten to one it'll be the ones without a spine 

Once again the truth fades into extinction 

Short and sweet, this might burn a little now 

It burns a little now 



I've stopped looking for the medicine 

I've stopped thinking it won't happen again 

It's one thing to accept it 

Another thing to let it catch you from behind 

To shake you down 

To live with it 

And not make a sound 

I've stopped looking for the medicine 



I'm so sick that we're surprised 

Everytime we're shown that power corrupts 

Thump our chests at the man on the screen 

Cursing the green 

Tell ourselves that enough is enough 



Another day 

Another dollar 

Another way to live with a life so intolerable
