lyrics

motivation fueled the nation
they shoot when they want with no hesitation
your trigger finger wrote my constitution
but the powers in our hands gonna start a revolution
grab all you can
it’s just supply and demand
you got your weapon in hand
and you can see where i stand
those sleepless nights and restless days
time passes by, life fades away, what can i say
next time around ain’t gonna be the same
too quick to point the blame
if it’s not your fault why you feel the pain?
the things we should’ve said we never said
the patriots are gone and the truth is dead
instead we’’ll just pretend that it’s all ok
and the loudest people always have got nothing to say
soft spoken, what’s he smokin?
got ideas in his mind that are gonna make some doors open
so break on through to the other side
when you make it to the top
let ‘em know down here we’re still alive
everything is not what it seems
you lie, you steal, you plot and you scheme
remember in the end that you get what you give
you can call it what you want but it is what it is
the things we should’ve said we never said
the patriots are gone and the truth is dead
instead we’ll just pretend that it’s all ok
and the loudest people always have got nothing to say
