[Intro]

In the land of the free-er

Evidence, it's no use

[Verse 1]

I've been bathing in the blood of our success

I guess it is just the stubborn side of man

That can see a riot and then somehow think

There could actually be no good reason

You want to see what people are really like

I'm not really sure you want to be knowing

[Chorus]

How could they say?

"Murder in the name of national security"

Yo no sé - they say

"Murder in the name of national security"

[Post-Chorus]

But there's silence in the way

But there's silence in the way

[Verse 2]

Evidence, it's no use

This is just the life that's been chosen for me

Yeah, well

I've been sipping on the blood of sweet success

Before history punishes us for it

You wanna see what people are really like?

Watch them light a torch, understanding ends this game

[Chorus]

How could it be?

"Murder in the name of office insecurity"

Yo no sé - they say

"Murder in the name of office insecurity"

[Verse 3]

If I was batting, I'd be right behind ya

It's not the first time, that I've been lied to

All words are made up before I was born

My friend the walls say only they'll keep me warm

You know it, lies are comforting

Bye-bye, bye-bye (Bye-bye)

You know it, obliviousness

I'll leave it in my dreams, my dreams

You know it, on my own, sitting down right here

Du-du-du-du-du-du-du-du

[Chorus]

I wanted it

"Murder in the name of personal security"

Yo no sé

Yes, I'm going out tonight, just don't wanna be fooled again

[Outro]

(We all) play those mind games and we stay unaware

Not angels, not fiends

But just human beings

Work so hard to become a faint memory

In the mind of a collective group of strangers

Leaving all my melodies behind
