You changed the frame
Washed it whiteAnd stole our name
Tried to slip away
Out the back door
Did you pull it off?
You cant be sure
Cause confusion
Hide behind
Misdirection
Lies impliedHollow out the cultural tieReplace it with your signifiersSo keep on down your ragged Mile
‘Cause we won’t be too far behind
And when you fall you’re gonna want to know who
Who it really was who took you downAnd when you fallWe’ll be there waiting for you
No- there’s no exit. You can’t turn around
When you got itYou forgot it was never yoursYou won’t know how but when it falls down
You’ll know exactly who we are
While you’re spending yourself,
We’re saving.While you’re playing yourself
We’re planning.
While you’re folding your hand,
We’re holdingWhere you’re ending yourself,
We begin.
While you’re sleeping on us,We’re stalking.When you jump at the gun,We stand. Still. (We’re still standing).
And when you fall you’re gonna want to know who
Who it really was who took you downAnd when you fallWe’ll be there waiting for you
There’s no exit. You can’t turn around
When you got itYou forgot it was never yours
No, you won’t know howBut when it falls downYou’ll know exactly who we are.
