Song for the Asking
the ethic ran through his bones
He lived alone with his mother
collecting gossip and toys
Every Sunday when he went to Church
He'd kneel in his pew and say
"It's work, all that matters is work."
He was a lot of things
what I remember most he'd say
"I've got to bring home the bacon
someone's got to bring home the roast."
He'd get to the factory early

Condemn thisÂÂ
Damn thisÂÂ
We'll be heard anyway!ÂÂ
Middle finger in the back then I wait but I'm silenced.ÂÂ
(Listen here)ÂÂ
Is it a possibility,ÂÂ
That we're all just equal?ÂÂ
Slap the power downÂÂ
(Abusing)ÂÂ
Oh doesn't it piss you off,ÂÂ
To be beaten at your own game?ÂÂ
You lead us with false moralsÂÂ
And shelter reality!ÂÂ
(No more)ÂÂ
We're not buying your product but you sell it to us preaching silence!ÂÂ
Insult me in my homeÂÂ
Where you were never invitedÂÂ
To live life on your curbÂÂ
(Frustrating)ÂÂ
Throw sticks into the spokesÂÂ
To relieve insecuritiesÂÂ
Stifle all dissentionÂÂ
And sticker our freedom of speech!ÂÂ
(So wrong)ÂÂ

Don't tell me what I wantÂÂ

Goddamn nothing!ÂÂ
Through the eyesores on my faceÂÂ
I can still see right fucking through youÂÂ
Fuck you and everything you areÂÂ
I feel were all still mental.ÂÂ
Closed eyes while you fucking criticizeÂÂ
keep your policyÂÂ
and try to exploit meÂÂ
Fabricate your liesÂÂ
We have burned these ghosts just to bleed out in silence!ÂÂ

Stand on my soapboxÂÂ
And speak my own pieceÂÂ
Whatever you may thinkÂÂ

to go through what is meÂÂ
And step on your beliefsÂÂ
Need these bodies to sell usÂÂ
Robbing our integrity!ÂÂ
