Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Leave your principles at the door
Spare me
Purge your guilt for the nameless hoards
Thrill me, you clown
[Verse 2]
You always beat the system somehow
Now the rats return to take their bow
[Verse 3]
A dog wakes inside the carnivore
A heart bleeds
A conscience won't help you to win the war
So fool me, you fraud
[Verse 4]
You always beat the system somehow
Now the rats return to take their bow
[Verse 5]
Genghis K
Pinochet
Mao Tse Tung
Kim Il-Sung
