lyrics

Shadows on the Wall
Sometimes I just can’t believe
The stupid shit I hear
You say when you repeat the lines
That you were s’pose to hear
From the squawk box and the radio
So you can tow the line for
Those assholes on the news who have gone
And done warped your mind
The truth is that the powerful
They have one goal you see
They will work to stay on top
and they will fight for their money
But they must unite in one thing
And it seems so clear to me
That it’s you they use to prop them up
Their status quo army
Yeah they tap into your morals
and they try to make you mad
They paint a world where you feel like
you are under attack,
then they mobilize you to shield them from
the growing poverty
and make you think poor people
are your enemy

It breaks my heart to see it but
I guess all angels fall
and the ones I thought were salt
Now stare at shadows… shadows on the wall

I just hope you open up
Before you close your eyes
And see the world as better
It’s getting better all the time
Cause the kids jump in and change the game
And people tow the line
And they save us from ourselves again
Like they’ve done throughout all time
I hope I see it when
The angels all do rise
and those who they feel threatened
now see the open sky

Cause it breaks my heart to see it but
I guess all angels fall
and the ones I thought were salt
Now stare at shadows… shadows on the wall
