Death by Surveillance

We are always on the run, let’s rest in the shade
Trade your life in for a gun, they can’t make us change
I’m sick of running from the masses
They can’t tell us where to go
And if this old heap fails and crashes
I just want you to know
I’m always afraid to ask
If we’re broken and fading fast
And I know if we could go back
That you would want no part of that
Stars, and stripes, and swastikas
What makes them not the same
How can you just hate someone
Before you know their name?
Hear the sirens blast their sirens
Watch the witches play their games
You can tear apart a nation
Just by writing in a name
I’m always afraid to ask
If we’re broken and fading fast
And I know if we could go back
That you would want no part of that
We are who we’re gonna be, until the day we die
Lay your weapon next to mine, and scream into the sky
We are who we’re gonna be, until the day we die
Lay your weapon next to mine, and scream into the sky
I’m always afraid to ask
If we’re broken and fading fast
And I know if we could go back
That you would want no part of that
I’m always afraid to ask
If we’re broken and fading fast
And I know if we could go back
That you would want no part of that
