Social Contract - Common Tongue Lyrics

Is it a common interest?

Or is it the common tongue?

White washed opinions made on an empty throne

I know it's above their heads

Washed in acid and bleach

Another feral rant in here

Another dreamless sleep



Lights roll forward

You're still pointing in the dark

Turquoise confusion

Assuming you're the pillars of society



Rats in a cage clutching at weathered straws

Pumped with steroids and fear

They'll put your sacred lives at risk

Slap it on a screen

Tell them what to believe

They'll take it away

Your comfort in pain



Lights roll forward

You're still pointing in the dark

Turquoise confusion

Assuming you're the pillars of society

Futures put to slaughter

The lords own children lining at up at the cattle trough

Your words are feeling older

The thawing of a forgotten art



Can you feel it?

The thawing of a forgotten art
