Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Oh no, oh no, no, no
This can't be how it all falls apart
Constant fear of explosion
Crypto-fascist contagion
Oh yeah, oh yeah yeah yeah
They took no time to unwind it all
Manufactured suggestion
Wag the dog and then drown him
[Verse 2]
How hate keeps passing on
This is how the hate keeps passing on
[Verse 3]
Oh no, oh no, no, no
This can't be how it all whimpers out
Live to die in the gutter
Empty ivory towers
Oh yeah, oh yeah, yeah, yeah
They pay no mind just to wind you up
Informed autosuggestion
State sanctioned assassination
[Verse 4]
How hate keeps passing on
This is how the hate keeps passing on
How hate keeps passing on
This is how the hate keeps passing on
