Rise Against - A Gentleman's Coup Lyrics
The pain, disorderA cataclysmic dawnWe trusted but something has gone wrongWe bought itBut woke to find it goneImpact in 5, 4, 3, 2The place beforeThe radiation creepsOn cats' feetWe scatter in the streetsShe asks me "do you think it's safe to breathe?"It doesn't look that way to meWe storm the gatesRaise the flagsJust the same old storyWe seize the throne, subjugateWe should have burned it to the groundWhoah... Some might say we've lost our wayBut I believe we've not gone far enoughAfraid, we cowerTo interests not our ownThe power to free or to controlWe let it slip throughOur fingers to the floorWatch as the bodies wash ashoreWhoah... Nobody lives here anymoreWe storm the gatesRaise the flagsJust the same old storyWe seize the throne, subjugateWe should have burned it to the groundWhoah... Some might say we've lost our wayBut I believe we've not gone far enoughAnd how long will we fall for this?And how long will we fall for this?How long will we fall for this?And how long will we fall?And how long will we fall for this?And how long will we fall for this?And how long will we fall for this?How long, how... ?We storm the gatesRaise the flagsJust the same old storyWe seize the throne, subjugateWe should have burned it to the groundWhoah... Some might say we've lost our wayBut I believe we've not gone far enough
