Within a mechanical pose
And a heart
pumping a need for control
Forced to fit
inside a mold
Living to dehumanize is gonna
take its toll
Take it in
And let it
saturate
Under the skin
Until you
can't even
Remember when
You first
felt the sinking
Feeling that
Something's missing you
Traded for a
gun
Did we inflate your sense of pride
And did it feed your lust for power
When
you threw us to the ground
You took what's
ours and sold it back
Another day another
dollar for this town
Your uniform made a
perfect burial suit
