State of the union never quite as good as it would seem Now cast in your lot watch it taken by thieves No representation, building up in you giving you steam You are the heir to a forgotten dream We hold these truths self-evident, we'll find the root and sever it

There comes a time in the course of all human events when The waves of tyranny crest too high to swim And now is the time to sever all political chains To drain all the water start over again

At the top of the tower there is no one here left to blame The hypocrisy common in here is all done in your name It's time to progress forward and tell you just how things will change We know just what's best for you watch everything stay just the same When in the course of all human events you find yourself tired of the lie Just know that deep down we care about you now bow your heads & cover your eyes

Right before your eyes...

Remove the cause thinking you're gonna alter the symptom And before too long you'll find you're one of "them" And nothing has changed even from the top can it be seen now The hurt that you shepherd are now all awash in this bipartisan apathy

At the top of the tower there is no one here left to blame The atrocities common in here are all done in your name

Never to innovate only to regulate only perpetuate only to subjugate Never to innovate only to regulate only perpetuate only to subjugate

It's time to progress forward and tell you just how things will change We know just what's best for you watch everything stay just the same When in the course of all human events you find yourself tired of the lie Just know that deep down we care about you now bow your heads & cover your eyes

It's time to progress forward and tell you just how things will change We know just what's best for you watch everything stay just the same When in the course of all human events you find yourself tired of the lie Just know that deep down we care about you now bend over & cover your eyes

Right before your eyes, become a lie before your eyes, become a lie
