Your heart, your home, your voice, it's got a price tag

Sign in blood, bury your rights in a body bag

They're feeding fear through the fault lines

You heard it here first

they got your freedoms on the front line

Prime time, the noose at our throats

Our liberties hands run with blood of the scapegoats

So tell me, how can we demonize

When we can't see life through another's eyes

Pay 'em off and play 'em off

Fear rolls like a reaper through the streets of the lost

Pay 'em off and play 'em off

But in the eyes of the storm

The truth drops like a bomb

The truth drops like a bomb

The battle is on

Hands in chains for a fist full of dollars

Who do we blame for the holes in our knowledge

The past you know has been written by the victor

So I ask you now, who is it writing your future

The butcher, the liar, the thief or the killer

Your freedom died quiet in the halls of power

Starved for peace we'll eat war until it kills us

Six feet deep with a belly full of bullets

Pay 'em off and play 'em off

Fear rolls like a reaper through the streets of the lost

Pay 'em off and play 'em off

But in the eyes of the storm

The truth drops like a bomb

The truth drops like a bomb

The battle is on

The hate runs deep but our hopes cut deeper

Now we walk through the valley

in the shadow of the reaper

Money talks, and it's speaking in tongues

They put a price on our soul, like they had already won

Now open wide

I see their jaws locked tight

Silent in the moment, like prey in the floodlights

The signal is static, baptised in fire

Now we see how they talk

With a mouth full of barbed wire

Absolute power

Absolute power corrupts absolutely

Absolute power

Absolute power corrupts

The truth drops like a bomb

The truth drops like a bomb

The battle is on

The truth drops like a

Absolute power corrupts absolutely
