Dillinger Four - Let Them Eat Thomas Paine Lyrics
It? as simple as fearAs disturbing as hateIt's as fragile as humilityIt's the way that we deal with what we truly feel about everything we seeRally round a cage, or act your ageLike the old methods we scratched forever in a prison wallWe know what we can't ignoreBut we don't seem to care at allRally round a cage, and don't make a fussRally round a cage, who am I if I'm not aware that I'm one of us?It's a question of trustRally round a cageCringe at the paper then place the blame on "these days"As if we don't know what we've seen unless we view it on the big screenA price paid in full for the conscience that liedAll the billboards in the world can't cover our eyesI don't understandDon't tread on meBut we act like we didn't knowThen kids shoot kids or community defies its roleThen it's everyone's fault except for anyone we might knowTell me are the colors of the flag much prettier to seeWhen viewed from the requisite comfort of the knees?We're the loyal little chorus still singing out "please"I can't understandDon't tread on meOne littleTwo littleThree little pink slips fourWhere family values are a value most can't affordRally round a cage to the new hit songsRally round a cage called "how could we be wrong"Rally round a cageC'mon do the goose step to a state-subsidized sing-alongWith one side yanking a line called damage controlWhile groaning 'cause they felt that the national razor went dullBut the other is a place we call homeWhere solidarity's seldom shownWhere taxes paid is like a spade to a dog with a thrift store boneThis isn't meIt couldn't beThis isn't meIt will never be
