lyrics

The frame of mind needed to give your life
Ain't something one just find overnight
Been in line for the stars and stripes
Many of us before we even knew

An invisible weight
From the flag pole hangs
Outside fourth period with Mr. Lu
There's a roomful of a painful sort
Waiting for the bell to just set them loose

Here for it leaning forward
Fist clenched, an adrenaline boost
if you ain't for us, you're the forest
I'm coming to cut down for fuel

Ain't no way to say no
So further we go, criss-crossing the globe
In insane mode
in Dodge Durangos
It's a stranglehold of a world bought and paid for

The longer you wait for
Change to be made for you
You'll find your hind sore
And your mind like deja-vu

Here for it leaning forward
Fist clenched, an adrenaline boost
if you ain't for us, you're the forest
I'm coming to cut down for fuel

Tell me again I live in sin
I like the fire in your eyes
All this time you wasted talking
Now yonder comes the night

Here for it leaning forward
Fist clenched, an adrenaline boost
if you ain't for us, you're the forest
I'm coming to cut down for fuel
