lyrics

Atop the ladder they’ve designed, it’s impossible to climb. When you’re chained up to the wall, and you’re staring up in awe. You shudder in fear at the black parade held every year. There’s no misery, there’s no mystery here. Where are the protest songs? Where are the million strong? In my day we had the cause to fight it, or I’d like to think I might have belonged to something more. I felt the fear, I’ve done the drugs, I’ve read the books, but it’s not clear. Did anyone notice this is music for the rebellion, when we need a revolution that we can be proud of. Don’t ask why, hurry up and die. You’ve found you never had the choice. No price was paid for your stolen voice. Your conscience lifts you from the ground, the sad truth knocks you right back down. You shudder in fear, your rebel soul has disappeared. It’s no mystery, you’re so miserable here. More than what I see, more than what I’ve seen. I’ll show you dirty. I’ll show you numbness I’ll show you no feeling at all.
