Our Time Honoured Tradition Of Cannibalism lyrics

Artist  : Boy Sets Fire 
Song : Our Time Honoured Tradition Of Cannibalism
 


from black panthers and the c.i.a.
into a
sharp wit with a stupid slag
we've gone and
dug our own hole
cause everybody knows
we
eat our own

so busy fighting each
other
while the real bastards fun for
cover
we shoot our own leaders down
before
those in power get the chance
so they sit back
and laugh
while we destroy
ourselves

wake up and shut up
we've
become our worst enemy

we've
sold
ourselves
out

turning inward to
our own detriment
forgetting the message that
we were to send

we've lost
count
up
victims
roll call

they're all our
own
look back at what we've done
drove out
the wrong side
kicked sand in our own
eyes

with every heroes welcome
is
another group on the side
ready to fire
if
they step out of line
just one mistake
and
jealous hands
claw away
any hope for a
better way

you bought it forget it
goodbye

so saints be on your toes
and
heroes be not proud
because as soon as the
people rise
someone will tear you
down

wake up and shut up
we've become
our worst enemy
