Unveiling the Venomous Code: The Honor System's Tale of Wages and Glory
Lyrics
Introducing the new code of honor
Introduction of a new set of principles or guidelines to live by
It's black and white
These principles are starkly defined
Question muted by the gun in your mouth
A question is silenced or suppressed by the threat of violence
Principles standardized
Principles become standardized or made uniform
You disarm yourself- when you pointed the gun
You've made yourself vulnerable by aiming the gun
Turn it back at yourself- it's the only possibly outcome
The likely outcome of turning the gun on yourself
Yes, sir! Is the catchphrase of the year
"Yes, sir!" as a popular phrase indicating compliance or submission
We've taken backseats, let them steer
Allowing others to take control while you step back
And the anchorman informs, these are the wages of sin
Media portrays consequences as punishments for wrongdoing
Yeah, it's glory bombing
Glorification of violent acts for fame or recognition
The snake's uncoiled itself, now it's spitting venom
A dangerous entity has become active and is spreading negativity
Its violent serum
The venom of this entity is its violent nature
Hate preachers, newspapers, Pennsylvania pick up truck
Mentions specific sources influencing negative attitudes
They've got you hooked
These influences have a strong hold on you
You disarmed yourself- when you shot your gun
Disarming oneself by using a weapon
An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth but only half a truth
Retribution conceptually, but with only partial truth
Yes, sir! It's the anthem of the year
"Yes, sir!" reiterated as the popular anthem
Hatred contaminated tears
Hatred leads to corrupted emotions
The anchorman declares, these are the wages of sin
Media emphasizing consequences for wrongdoing
Yeah, it's glory bombing
Glorification of violence for fame or notoriety
The snakes uncoiled itself, now it's spitting venom
A dangerous entity spreading negativity and hostility
Violent serum
The hostility of this entity is its violent nature
