in all the confusion (our mouths were sutured)
innocence was stolen (had trouble breathing)
elected a new Nero (as I stood screaming)
just like they wanted (in all of the places)
the consequences, they didn't care
we're taking the blame or the lion's share
and all that is left to absorb all this pain
is this sinking feeling
apathy in the community
ignore all the words that were heard
we celebrate ignorance not common sense
is it fashionable to be deaf and dumb?
if everyone wants to save this town before we drown in
the debt of bad decisions we disown
why are you reading from the same old script, market tested
stripped of the heart to save the soul?
and I'm failing to see the differences (it's hard to find a difference)
are you ready for the not so distant future?
are you ready for a nice change of pace?
are you ready for the new world order?
we can make this world a better place, you and I
are you ready for the tyranny of convenience?
are you ready for the pride before the fall?
are you ready for the new world order?
we can make this world a better place, you and I
unless that's not a road you want to go on
sometimes it's easier not to rock the f****** boat
but we don't have a lot to go on (and path to salvation has been shown)
and where we're going we don't need roads
