Laughter in a Police State

[Intro]
The governments say that it's what we need
Work until we die, serving someone else's greed
They separate, divide, but it's the same red blood we bleed
Rob us the fruit, but we always have the seed

[Verse 1]
People speaking out against what they see
Searching for the truth and the promises of liberty
People are imprisoned for what they believe
Or is it just propaganda?

[Chorus]
Out of the gate, we're all quick to defend
The sellout positions, white-washed of content
To our heart's discontent
To our heart's discontent
Too afraid of our failures
Faith and future unknown
Do we dare to reach beyond it?
Do we dare?

[Verse 2]
You screamed in my face, but I waited quietly
Religious leaders, politicians, and the lies you say
Economic poison of the enemy
Bottom of the bottle where the poor men stay
Whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh
Or is it just propaganda?

[Chorus]
Out of the gate, we're all quick to defend
The sellout positions, white-washed of content
To our heart's discontent
To our heart's discontent
Too afraid of our failures
Faith and future unknown
Do we dare to reach beyond it?
Do we dare to stand alone?

[Breakdown]
To stand alone, we stand alone!
Feel the pressure rising, whoa-oh-oh
Feel the pressure rising, whoa-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh
Pressure rising, push the future
Pressure rising in the present, we
Pressure rising, push the future
In a house divided
In a house divided, whoa-oh
In a house divided, we will
In a house divided, watch it fall!
