Lyrics

Things you can't deny
You best believe it
When everything you wanted is gone
Struck down
Although you don't like it
Nothing of value to be found
Violence breeds violence
You know we'll never stop it
For progress we will protect the game
We struck the fuse
You can't refuse it
The memory is all that will remain

The political scene
Coming apart at the seams
It's the end of the american dream
The temperature is ready to burst
The future is not what it seems
For the american dream

Time has come
You know we can't stop it
You know that the end is drawing near
Knocked down
The sound of it collapsing
So loud no one can hear
Mindless old tyrants do
You hear the sirens
Song that will herald your demise
Excessive sessions
On your transgressions
We're all left sifting through the lies

The political scene
Coming apart at the seams
It's the end of the american dream
The temperature is ready to burst
The future is not what it seems
For the american dream

Things you can't deny
You best believe it
When everything you wanted is gone
Struck down
Although you don't like it
Nothing of value to be found

The political scene
Coming apart at the seams
It's the end of the american dream
The temperature is ready to burst
The future is not what it seems
For the american dream
