lyrics

Verse:

I don't understand
Everything that the man
On TV
Is saying to me

But he talks like me
Hates idiots like me
Will do what it takes
To save his family

Put his life on the line
And I think that it's my time


Verse:

I do not despise
Overlook or chastise
Those bound to me
By blood or shared demise

We all fall down
We all fall down


Chorus:

Shout from the rafters
Make tonight's headline
Enable martyrs
To their own decline
Willing disciples
Of a madman's cause
Fact-free delusions
Met with grand applause
At home


Verse:

You chose to turn the lights off
When you didn't get your way
You left my friends and family struggling
Without their hard earned pay

You're messiah to your morons
And monster to me and mine
You preach the tyrant's gospel
When you recall the lines


Chorus:

Shout from the rafters
Make tonight's headline
Enable martyrs
To their own decline
Willing disciples
Of a madman's cause
Fact free delusions
Met with grand applause
At home

(If I fall, then you fall)

Shout from the rafters
Make tonight's headline
The hands of martyrs
Built what we’ll refine
Willing dissenters
Of a madman's reign
Fact free delusions
Met with loud refrains
At home
