lyrics

We're here to get you on your feet
to put the word out on the street
and say there cloak and dagger show is no joke
I fear there M.O.D. is true
the've got the murder council too
left with packs and stacks of cracks to call our homes
They've been Regenerated, left out and backdated
Came with style, grace, and taste you'd never seen or heard again
Arising from the crashes, like the phoenix from the ashes
Redlining straight into the sun

And I just don't know if I can make y'all see
That the rules for them are not for you or me
And it's just from my perception that they've pulled the mass deception, and convinced everyone to go to sleep

I can only see things my way
see the truths come in from sideways
Packs of rats, under sewer caps, hiding from there sin
They'll burn the world with fire
leave us only with the mire
then it's off again with there friends to split the wins

And the times they are a changing once again
but I don't know if they'll ever buck the trend
But I do know one thing, and it's that they'll kill the king
If he won't sing the song they want to hear

And the times they are a changing once again
but i don't know if we'll ever buck the trend
Cause once was thought as sacred
has been left out and wasted
And the kids have been left alone in the field to fend
