City streets and tourniquets
Puppet strings and marionettes
Humanity pays an iron debt
Democracy erodes and in the end you know it's a state run red
Blind me to your cruelty
All your money can't compare
You tell me that my home is not my home
Well I'll sacrifice myself down to the bone
Are we dolls or do we have will of our own?
Do we know who's in control?
Not one less, not one less
My right eye for my protest
Not one less, not one less
Can't suppress what you oppress
Blood across the sky
All for asking why
I am not afraid to die
I'm afraid to live in a world constructed on your lie
Blind me to your cruelty
All your power can't compare
Tell me that my home is not my home
Well I'll sacrifice myself down to the bone
Are we dolls or do we have will of our own?
Do we know who's in control?
Not one less, not one less
My right eye for my protest
Not one less, not one less
Can't suppress what you oppress
They push me down into the dirt
Twist the screw in, make it hurt
Breathing gas and gasoline
I will never be a part of your regime
So I'll push myself through tears
Fly my flag through all my fears
Not one less is what I scream
I will never be a part of your regime
I'm a machine
Left out in the cold
A nuclear winter fuels my soul
I'm a machine
Left out in the cold
A nuclear winter fuels my soul
Stubborn in the bones you tell your mother
Siphon all the life inside away
Take it all to bedtime with another
There ain't no better place than yesterday
I don't wanna show you where the fun is
The markets only good for one more try
Holding to the backdrift of your money
The winter of the words can't stay alive
Streets or guns inside the hands of all your birds
And Tyranny is often found within your words
Do you want me, do you want me here at all
I'm bound to notice when your back's against the wall
You
Stutter in your sleep
Your laughin' while you weep
Will make us all regret
The weekend
You
Wallow in the mud
And revel in your blood
You're bringing down the
Worldwide standards
Focus on the capture and retrieval
Of everything you once knew to be yours
Stop and reassure yourself of evil
And struggle to believe you're at my door
Knock until the planets close their eyelids
Wait until the nighttime stars arise
You can see your headspace is divided
And though you've got the tears
The attitude still comes as a surprise
Streets or guns inside the hands of all your birds
And Tyranny is often found within your words
Do you want me, do you want me here at all
I'm bound to notice when your back's against the wall
You
Stutter in your sleep
Your laughter when you weep
Will make us all regret
The weekend
You
Wallow in the mud
And revel in your blood
Bringing down the
Worldwide standards
You
You call yourself a freak
I know it all looks bleak
But you surround me with
The passion of the pure
You
Ya really can't decide
You multiply divide
Subtract and add it back
You haven't moved at all
She's always shining
'Cause it's always night
You're always dancing
And the song's so right
Well, do you want me, do you want me
Here at all
It seems to me you've got your back against the wall
And It all
Goes back to that moment when you
Looked her in the eyes
And it
Keeps on showing the same thing
But you don't apologize
Well you know that she's your home now
And you're caught inside her snare
With the noose knotted around your neck
And your hands up in her hair
Do you want me, do you want me here at all
I'm bound to notice when your back's against the wall
