[Intro]

Lives dismantled

Piece by piece, shout!

Before our eyes

Powers disguise the truth

While we decline


[Verse 1]

We are useful idiots and every time we think

It's gonna change they're fucking with us

Disaster makes them grip much harder round our necks

Discontent is all around


[Interlude]

Having lost all physical and mental qualities I'm not considered to be normal or desirable

I will degenerate back to a mindless fuck like a decaying human parasite!

Life's suicide!


[Chorus]

Why have all our rights been violent in their deaths?

Why are we so benign and motionless on request?

Oh, when did they cease to protect individual rights?

Forever we need, they're breaking us up from inside


[Guitar Solo]


[Verse 2]

They start by erasing our memories to claim

Riches like spinal sinews tearing, old cultures replaced

Invent new history, we forget what really was

In the struggle of man against power man will fall every time


[Chorus]

Why have all our rights been violent in their deaths?

Why are we so benign and motionless on request?

Oh, when did they cease to protect individual rights?

Forever we need, they're breaking us down


[Bridge]

This is the day, this is the day we all die

This is the day, this is the day we all

This is the day, this is the day we all die

This is the day we leave this sick world behind


[Outro]

Why can't I take a piece of your life, a piece of your life?

Why can't I take a piece of your life, a piece of your life?
