lyrics

It started with a crash
Then shock and awe
Bait, switch, move the cash
Where've we seen this before?
Crowbars to weapons cache
Their weapons drawn
Here comes the splintered smash
Jackboots behind the door

They came for the poor and weak
They came for the paper's leak
They came for those in debt
They came for the "Marxist left"
They came for the free of choice
They came for the loudest voice
They came for democracy
They came for you and me

Like a cat amongst the pigeons
But the birds have lost their wings
And the cat's a fucking lion
And the lion's always king

And now it's gone
Here comes the darkest dawn
And now it's gone

Cells
And guards
And chains
And walls

A living hell

Of blood
And pain
And bones

They died alone

Torn
And cut
And zoned

The dark red dawn

A heart that's turned to stone

They pledged "collective unity"
The pledged a world that's "pure and free"
They pledged "collective unity"
They gave us cast iron guarantees

Fear
Her eyes were full of dread

The living dead

Lines
Lines for work and bread
The lies they fed

Lines
For checks on the borders
And guards
Dispersing disorder
And fines
For speaking our minds
We were blind

And now it's all over

This is now your life

They're homing in
They're droning in
They're signalling
We're caving in

Round them up
Line them up
Fire it up

Frail bodies
Worn out souls
Running empty
Running cold
And they just can't stop the bleeding
And they just can't stop the bleeding

Price paid
Service sold
Adandoned
And they're getting old
And they just can't stop the bleeding
And they just can't stop the bleeding

They're bleeding out

War
Famine
Death
Government

Who knew the apocalypse would be so clinical?
Who knew the apocalypse would be so methodical?
Who knew the apocalypse would be so cynical?
Who knew the apocalypse would be avoidable?

War
Famine
Death
Government

When Orwell's finest work is no longer fiction
When Huxley's A to E comes to fruition
When Atwood's hangings are commonplace
When the door sign flips to "closed" and we've fucked the place

You maniacs
You've blown it up
You maniacs
You've fucked it

War
Famine
Death
Government

Like a cat amongst the pigeons
But the birds have lost their wings
And the cat's a fucking lion
And the lion's always king

We reap what we sow
Crimes against humanity
Crimes against the poor
Crimes committed for nothing at all
Except money
it's always for fucking money
But what are you going to buy
When there's nothing left to buy at all?

We reap what we sow
