Lyrics

[Verse 1]
In the land of the freer
Evidence, it's no use
[Verse 2]
I've been bathing in the blood of our success
I guess it is just the stubborn side of man
I can see a riot and then somehow think
There could actually be no good reason
You want to see what people are really like
I'm not really sure you want to be knowing
[Verse 3]
How could you say
Murder in the name of national security?
Yo no sé, they say
Murder in the name of national security
[Verse 4]
But there's silence in the way
But there's silence in the way
[Verse 5]
Evidence, there's no use
This is just the life that's been chosen for me
Yeah, well
[Verse 6]
I've been sipping on the blood of sweet success
Before history punishes for it
You wanna see what people are really like?
Watch them light a torch
Understanding ends this game
[Verse 7]
How could it be
Murder in the name of officer security?
Yo no sé, they say
Murder in the name of officer security
[Verse 8]
If I was batting I'd be right behind ya
It's not the first time that I've been lied to
All words are made up, before I was born
My friend, the walls say only they'll keep me warm
[Verse 9]
You know it, lies are comforting
Bye-bye, bye-bye
[Verse 10]
You know it all, obliviousness
I leave it in my dreams
My dreams
[Verse 11]
You know it's on my own
Sitting down right here
[Verse 12]
I wanted it
Murder in the name of personal security
Yo no sé
Yes, I'm going out tonight
Just don't wanna be fooled again
[Verse 13]
We all play those mind games and we stay unaware
[Verse 14]
Now angels, not thieves
But just human beings
[Verse 15]
We work so hard to become a faint memory
In the mind of a collective group of strangers
Leaving all the melodies behind
