The End Of Complacency

lyrics

As the sun starts to set in a western sky, we choke on the smoke from a sea of fire
A pelican struggles covered in oil, as we pour more toxins into the soil
A child in Sudan suffers from dehydration, while giant corporations push for water privatization
Angola is raped for its its oil reserves, the natives cry out but we are deaf to their words
Warplanes fly over the innocents heads, maimed survivors pray for death in hospital beds
Spouting lies that blessed are the meek, another priest molests because his flesh is weak
Corrupt judges dine with ceos, making deals behind closed doors it's the way that it goes
A farce media keeps us in line with fear, reports only reflecting the interest of our puppeteers

Your told if you fight back you'll be rewarded with a cell or a vengeful god might drag you down to hell
But I'll say fuck you to religion and capitalism is a disease, I spit in the face of your army and police

Religious fundamentalist push back gay rights, Fascist gangs attack immigrants in front of our eyes
The border states are passing stricter laws trying to break apart mexican american homes
Burmese villagers bury their dead thanks to chevron's money that keeps the junta fed.
The school of America's is training assassins the state department funds blackwaters actions
The FBI labels the E.L.F. as a terrorist group, While the USA supports gunning down Palestinian youth
When a child is murdered and becomes a martyr its no wonder that a mother becomes a suicide bomber
But we are taught to be patriotic and give our support indoctrinated by lies since the day we are born
Pharmaceutical companies tighten the hold keeping us in front of the tv set where our identity is sold

Your told if you fight back you'll be rewarded with a cell or a vengeful god might drag down you to hell
But I'll say fuck and your power to hell with all the greed, I would rather die in the streets the take part in your schemes

Some how we subconsciously ignore what's reality
and live lifestyles that sell out our humanity
For a safe suburban home or an apartment in the town
with a pint after work to wash your sorrows down
Its easy ignore the suffering when you cant hear their screams
easy to ignore the outside world when your in front of a screen
Confined within the walls of apathy locked in our self made chains
we want do make a difference but do we really want to change

This constant rein of terror will not always last
the more they try push us the more we will push back

Their empires will crumble, and they will will crumble beneath the feet.
Of a unified resistance taking back the streets.
The day people are united and remove the blinders from their eyes
will be the day we can say that imperialism died
