Cold in July - Crisis Lyrics

Let us live, let us be free
From this cycle of reality
Money over matter infests our minds
Stare at the screens just to watch them burn

The sky's falling in cities of crisis
Upper class man hits the red button
They can sleep soundly tonight
Knowing this whole decision is right

Military action and the time to strike
This is a democracy that lost it's way
Innocent civilians can't see through the smoke
No-one cares when they choke

Ah!

Hold your breath
There's no where to turn
Don't give in to death
Ivory tower to watch them burn
Watch them burn!
This is a crisis!

Lying face down
It's all the same to you
Money's the question
How much do you get?
Bury the victims
In your despair!
You just cover the corpses
Its hard to forget

Let us live, let us be free
From this cycle of reality
Money over matter infests our minds
Stare at the screens just to watch them burn

While we sit back and watch
All the violence we've caused
And we won't say a thing
Ignorance is bliss

Hold your breath
There's no where to turn
Don't give in to death
Ivory tower to watch them burn
Watch them burn!
Watch them burn!

Oh!
