A little blood in the water
But that's all it took
A talking snake in the garden
Now all hell's breaking loose
If you could open your eyes
You'd f****** see for yourself
The simple truth of it is
We let them take our future and f*** it to death
We are aware of what they are saying
Yet no one cares if it's true
The light at the end of the tunnel
Is a rope that ends in a noose
We could put an end to the lies
That we've been telling ourselves
Just know that we're part of it now
If we don't keep moving, we'll be eaten alive
Are we strong enough
To take a long hard look right at the guts?
And roll our shirt sleeves up
And get to the heart of what's hurting us?
Put a price on life and we're buying it
But the cost is high and who's paying for that?
And maybe we can get rich off them
Maybe it's just a means to an end
Like trying to breathe underwater
It hurts and it don't work
Ache for the sake of a dollar
And all that it's worth
Would you just roll your eyes
Or put an end to yourself
If you found truth of it was
That we're as much to blame as anyone else?
Put a price on life and we're buying it
But the cost is high and who's paying for that?
Maybe we can get rich off them
Maybe it's just a means to an end
Are we strong enough
To take a long hard look right at the guts?
And roll our shirt sleeves up
And get to the heart of what's hurting us?
Put a price on life and we're buying it
