oh. when reason dies behind closed doors
face down in a cell in a pool of piss
it's time to fear what we should respect
it's time to question cause and effect
hiding behind flags of immunity
when corruption rears its ugly head
the force of law becomes a farce
personal ambition usurps justice
the rich protected at the expense of the poor
would you sit on the fence
there'd be no need for law
so obsessed with blind greed
can we really afford to be so selectively blind?
if we dig too deep what would we find?
at authority's heart beats a dollar sign
under such a regime we're all doing time
hiding behind flags of immunity
when they come to drag you away
to silence the dissident hiding in us all
they clench the fist of ordained might
from which side of the barbed wire
do you want to see your life pass by?
there'd be no need for law
so obsessed with blind greed
yeah. when reason dies behind closed doors
face down in a cell in a pool of piss
it's time to fear what we should respect
it's time to question cause and effect!
who teaches the teachers?
who makes laws for lawmakers?
when they read us our rights
when they come to drag you away
to silence the dissident hiding in us all
they clench the fist of ordained might
from which side of the barbed wire
do you want to see your life pass by?
there'd be no need for law
so obsessed with blind greed
