One of the two previously unreleased songs from the band’s Hits collection, “Kingdom of Zod” is about about how some people in power manipulate citizens to gain more control. Singer Ben Kowalewicz in an interview with Alternative Press admitted drawing inspiration from then-current Toronto mayor Rob...
[Verse 1: Ben Kowalewicz]
We'll never drink your medicine and we'll never think your way
Masters of broken promises are born to manipulate
Your mind is a vault of prejudice but we see through the door
Your dirty little secrets aren't so secret anymore
[Verse 2: Ben Kowalewicz]
We'll never drink your medicine and we'll never think your way
You're tied to an ideology from a book that's out of date
No room for your daft intolerance left in this day and age
We're not gonna go down quietly, we're not gonna be afraid
'Cause under the cloak of sanity's a madman in disguise
Are we blind, blind, blind?
[Chorus: Ben Kowalewicz (& Ian D'Sa)]
(It's a lie) I believe it but I don't understand
(It's a lie) I feel it coming like the back of the hand
It's a lie (lie), a lie (lie), a lie (lie)
(It's a lie) If I think you'll be the one in command
(It's a lie) It'll tear us all apart in the end
It's a lie (lie), a lie (lie), a lie (lie)
It's a lie!
[Verse 3: Ben Kowalewicz]
We're slamming the doors of democracy on those who are not the same
We're casting the stones at liberty but no one takes the blame
Your cup is full of promise but there's nothing left in mine
Tell me why, why, why?
[Chorus: Ben Kowalewicz (& Ian D'Sa)]
(It's a lie) I believe it but I don't understand
(It's a lie) I feel it coming like the back of the hand
It's a lie (lie), a lie (lie), a lie (lie)
(It's a lie) If I think you'll be the one in command
(It's a lie) It'll tear us all apart in the end
It's a lie (lie), a lie (lie), a lie (lie)
(Are we blind?) We'll never make it like a thief in the night
(Are we blind?) Will they cover up the evidence of their crimes?
Are we blind (blind), blind (blind), blind (blind)?
(It's a lie) When they tell me to surrender the fight
(It's a lie) I'll surrender the fight, I'll surrender the fight
It's a lie (lie), lie (lie), lie (lie)
[Bridge: Ben Kowalewicz]
All that I need to survive
Is right in front of my eyes
And I don’t need to be tied
To the edge of your knife
All that I need to survive
Is right in front of my eyes
[Chorus: Ben Kowalewicz (& Ian D'Sa)]
(It's a lie) I believe it but I don't understand
(It's a lie) I feel it coming like the back of the hand
It's a lie (lie), a lie (lie), a lie (lie)
(It's a lie) If I think you'll be the one in command
(It's a lie) It'll tear us all apart in the end
It's a lie (lie), a lie (lie), a lie (lie)
(Are we blind?) We'll never make it like a thief in the night
(Are we blind?) Will they cover up the evidence of their crimes?
Are we blind (blind), blind (blind), blind (blind)?
(It's a lie) When they tell me to surrender the fight
(It's a lie) I'll surrender the fight, I'll surrender the fight
It's a lie (lie), lie (lie), lie (lie)
[Outro: Ben Kowalewicz]
A big fucking lie
