lyrics

Take back the clowns
Board up the past
Crumble everything to dust that was ever built to last
We've built the best of an imperfect world
Now our imminent attachment is coming unfurled
Send the rust back to dust and collect the rest of your cash
The finger's on the button and there's no coming back

Cash for oil and blood for free
Everything for sale but you don't own me
The minutes that are spent on
Crushing life just for a dime
Are just about as fruitful
As turning water into wine
And though through intimidation
Our power seems laid to rest
This is not a breaking point
This is just a test
You should know the few are many
When they remember this
All it takes to bring an empire down
Is hidden in a fist


Cut the power, cut the cord
The past will just decay
We're building a bigger better world
And no one has to pay
Shipping and handling, the price of blood
Or proccessing fees
"All you need is two feet
And some rhythm round the knees"
Walls are crumbling down
You can taste it in my lips
The dust is what we're born in
The rest is blown to bits

So come along
And take my hand
The road of good intentions
Ain't a part of this plan
We're dancing backwards out of hell
We're striking up the band
If this how it ends then, honey
Let's get out of hand
