lyrics

Killers surrounded by
cameras. Microphone in hand.
Trigger. Your words just like
bullets aimed at more like you.
Bombs fall heavy on your
people, heavy from your mouth.
Silence and shrapnel scar the
province. The guilty guiltless hide away

in rocket proof walls.
Behind the flag;
it's a shield
to protect
you from them: the public.
Wake up to the
sound of reveille
amongst the din of
crashing buildings.

That's for a life lived underfed
and lived with hands above the head.
Not straying too far from back home
to find the nearby regions blown
to dust.

What do you see when you go to sleep?
The trembling whore down on here knees?
The empty shells? The holes in the streets?
The amputee weeping for sanctuary lost?

Medals pinned across where the
heart is covers up the hole.
Crosshairs always red on
civilians who had their tongues torn out for
talking, reprimanding your folly.
Talking much too loud outside

in rocket proof walls.
Behind the flag;
it's a shield
to protect
you from them: the public.
Wake up to the
sound of reveille
amongst the din of
crashing buildings.

Perched above the ground to overlook the crowd;
their hands were reaching out but riot cops beat and bashed them back down
over and over 'til blood started to show.
"In the name of God" you said, so it can't be your fault.

Wake up to the
sound of reveille
amongst the din of
crashing buildings.
