lyrics

Fell into obscurity, never to return
It’s never the easy way that allows us to learn
The morals crucified, the ethics burned
I’ll laugh as everyone’s newly bleeding hearts yearn

CHORUS
It’s a free country but you have to pay for everything
Especially when greed and politicians share a ring
We’re paying for our own mistakes
Paying so much money for nothing, the establishment breaks

We’re falling victim to our own denial
The few people who try to save us, their actions are futile
Judgment Day will be composed by us, we can’t stop it
Especially when we’re all too busy with bureaucratic bullshit

chorus

We are the generation of hypocrisy
Doing anything for just a little money
The expenses rise when we should try to save ourselves
But instead we insist on digging our own graves and sending ourselves to Hell

Fuck the greedy people who sue everyone
Just because they know they’re rich
And fuck the preppy snobs who walk on poor for a living
Just to get across their sales pitch

Whoa-oh, whoa-oh
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh

I embrace individuality
But it’s lacking quality
In this modern world
Watch as our fate unfurls

chorus
