Drones 04:00
i cannot breathe in the city anymore i want to leave but i've got nowhere else to go i wanna disappear into the wilderness let the forest be my cover and my alibi they're always hovering, always hovering always hovering overhead they cut like scalpels through the sky you must be my witness if i disappear you must be my witness when i'm gone you must be my witness if i disappear you must be my witness when i'm gone we won the contracts but we lost the war everything has happened just the way we planned and now that big black dog is lurching through the desert digging for democracy beneath the bloody sand but i can't sleep in my own goddamn bed every night i hear the whisper of the drones i feel them feeding on my power lines i hear their humming in my bones you must be my witness if i disappear you must be my witness when i'm gone you must be my witness if i disappear you must be my witness when i'm gone when i'm gone who will forgive us for the things we've done? who will forgive us for the things we've done? who will forgive us for the things we've done? who will be left to forgive us when we're done?

what fucking year is this we're living in? black bodies lying in the streets again history plucked from the recycling bin what fucking year is this again? what fucking year is this, what century? strange fruit hanging from decision trees this killing ground was made for you and me so be a man, boy, and stand up while you bleed burn it down, burn it all down spread the ashes and salt the ground burn it down, burn it all down spread the ashes and salt the ground who fucking died and made you king? bloody fingers decked with diamond rings cut david's throat and cry over his broken sling it doesn't matter, it doesn't cost you anything what fucking difference does it make? we've taken everything that we can take crank up the engines and cut the brakes round up the heretics and shame them at the stake burn it down, burn it all down spread the ashes and salt the ground burn it down, burn it all down spread the ashes and salt the ground
