We the People
Unveiling Society's Bleak Truths
Lyrics
Suckin wishes from the television everyone's to blame
Society absorbs unrealistic desires from the media, and everyone is held accountable.
There's a carcass in the livingroom but everything's the same
Despite disturbing circumstances, the status quo remains unchanged.
If I lied about the truth it wasn't meant to cause you pain
If there were falsehoods, they were not intended to hurt you.
I'm just avoiding declaration of war
Avoiding the official announcement of conflict or aggression.
I signed the dotted line with a gun to my head
Committed to a decision under duress or threat.
I ran all the way here but you were already dead
Despite efforts, arriving late to find a situation has already deteriorated.
I only needed twenty-five got a million instead
Only needing a small amount but obtaining much more, yet the desire persists.
And I still just wanted more
Achieving abundance but still unsatisfied, desiring more.
We the people
Addressing the collective identity of the people.
There's blood upon the steeple
Symbolizing violence and chaos in society.
Your life is even cheaper than the gun in my hand
Life is devalued, akin to the worth of a firearm.
Time for purging
A call for a cleansing or purging of societal ills.
There's feces on the virgin
Describing defilement on something sacred or pure.
Love is just a word that we will never understand
Suggesting that love is a concept beyond comprehension.
Open up the door and let the dogs feel the fire
Advocating for facing challenges or difficulties head-on.
Another maggot in the womb and every mother is a liar
Commentary on societal decay and dishonesty.
Still our cup it runneth over with incurable desire
Despite abundance, insatiable desires persist.
And there's a baby lying on the floor
Highlighting a tragic and neglected situation.
Semi-automatic on the Lazy Boy Express
Describing a complacent or inactive attitude, juxtaposed with a powerful weapon.
A man is still a man if you put him in a dress
Asserting that gender does not change the essence of a person.
Now they're all just having heart attacks from beating on their chests
People experiencing health issues due to excessive self-praise.
Won't you give your will to live to the poor
Encouraging altruism and generosity toward the less fortunate.
We the people
Reiteration of the collective identity of the people.
There's blood upon the steeple
Reemphasizing the prevalence of violence in society.
Your life is even cheaper than the gun in my hand
Continuing the theme of life being devalued, comparing it to a weapon.
Time for purging
Repeating the call for a cleansing or purging of societal ills.
There's feces on the virgin
Reiterating defilement on something sacred or pure.
Love is just a word that we will never understand
Reemphasizing the difficulty in understanding the concept of love.
