lyrics

Land Of The Coward

Land of the coward. Home of the slave.
Dig a hole for your shattered dreams. You bury them under an ashen sky.
All hope rationed and gone.
Convince yourself of endless, hopeless, visions of your own utopian hell.

Rise and shine. It’s time to wake and smell your misery.
Promissory notes on filthy green paper. It’s just a symptom of this modern disease.
We’ll burn the wretched and we’ll feast on their bones.
This thrill’s addictive, sharks swimming on instinct in the land of the slave.

Try breaking your back, just see what you get.
Try going twelve rounds with Mike Tyson, it’s all fun ‘til someone loses an ear,
And then, it’s fucking hilarious.
A shark swims on instinct, ‘cos business is business, and commerce ain’t free.

Rise and shine. It’s time to wake and smell your misery.
Promissory notes on filthy green paper. It’s just a symptom of this modern disease.
Burn the wretched and we’ll feast on their bones.
This thrill’s addictive, sharks swimming on instinct in the land of the slave.

What did I tell you? Don’t ask questions. I’m the one fucking this bitch, you’re just holding the camera.
What did I tell you? Don’t make waves. ‘Cos I’m the one fucking you next, you’re just grabbing your ankles.

And the logo’s you wear, they just brand you.
And the car that you drive, don’t define you.
This fortress that you build, it just shackles you.
And this deal that we made, means I own you.

Everything you’ve ever wanted, all you’ve ever known. All collapses.
Everything you’ve ever wanted, all you’ve ever know. Yeah we sold you.

And I’ll drive by in my Porsche, yeah I’m smiling, I’m waving, of course.
That small print you ignore, yeah I bet you’re reading it now motherfucker.

Land of the coward, home of the slave. This thrill’s addictive, sharks swimming on instinct, no home for the brave.
