Misfortunate Sons - Cold Reality Lyrics
If you truly believe that the good die young,Why do you think we’re still here?We’re falling further and further from all the simple truths,From the ones that we held dearDisappointment and despair flood the streets,There’s no high ground I can seeEventually, we’ll drown. We’re all tethered toThis cold realityWe’re controlled by common criminalsLying and killing in the service of the charlatansSeated at the right hand of a glorified thiefTaking everything that’s left from the beggars’ handsWe know the answers to the questionsBut we will never understand the reasons whyWe’ve been stranded in the cold and left to rotI paid my debt to the collector but God knows I’m never getting mineDivided we stand, united we fallDivided we stand, just to kill them allIn the land of the free, we’re all still enslavedThis is not what we came here forThis is not what we came here forTen thousand years, and nothing has changedThe world moves on, but we’re resigned to stay the sameWe’ll never change
