lyrics

Building on the bones of the fallen,
In the name of God you murderers take solace.
Washed in the blood of the lamb & the the blood of the damned,
Waiting with your guns all polished.
We're just cogs and our blood is the oil,
Keep the machine fed and throw away the spoils.
We pay with our lives, with bullets and knives,
These deserts like hell make our blood start to boil. They tell us dying for your flag gives honor,
But dying for a tyrant doesn't make you a martyr,
Giving up your days on this earth, whatever they're worth,
Is a waste when every breath is bartered
The head tells the right to tell the left thats it's evil,
The left sends its shots at their heads under the steeple.
Bullets are flying and the widows are crying,
Don't think they care at all for the people.

Don't put your faith in man.
Greed and death go hand in hand.
Don't put your faith in man.
For the people?
Don't put your faith in man.
Greed and death go hand in hand.
Don't put your faith in man.
For the people? Fuck the people.

Every four years we elect a new tyrant,
Each one getting more & more violent.
They feed on the blood of the soldiers in the mud,
Because they know dead men stay silent.
Surrounded by an colony of fucking politicians,
While we're making ends meat out of scraps in the kitchen.
They laugh and they dine on steak and red wine,
While the people get fucked over freedom of religion.
Dig out graves for a billion plastic coffins,
You tell us we're people but you're using us as profit,
In an emergency, you use as currency,
Take the whole family and all will be forgotten.
Let's step back and enjoy all the carnage,
Living in a Wasteland of the richs mans garbage.
People dead on the floor, with blood on the door,
Lord knows Death comes as an artist.

Don't put your faith in man.
Greed and death go hand in hand.
Don't put your faith in man.
For the people?
Don't put your faith in man.
Greed and death go hand in hand.
Don't put your faith in man.
For the people? Fuck the people.

Enough!
Let my people go!

Don't put your faith in man.
Greed and death go hand in hand.
Don't put your faith in man.
For the people?
Don't put your faith in man.
Greed and death go hand in hand.
Don't put your faith in man.
For the people? Fuck the people.
