How Did I Get Out Alive? - Mischief Brew

Down where the dullers roll,

How do you keep a match lit in this hole?

Up where the idiots lead,

Scattering seeds

Where we all had to stand for the pledge.

When bones were thrown, we all fetched

But still we were burning inside.

How did I get out alive?

And we read: here we are free

Sang «This land was made for you and me»

Watched as the president swore

Called for war (WAR!)

We all died, yellow ribbons around necks.

And we all had to stand for the pledge

So smothered by national pride.

How did I get out alive?

Back where the idiots rolled

I was a time bomb brought into school

It was there we learned up from down.

Upside down

It was there that we stood for the pledge.

Where the living was raised by the dead

Let the slaughter kept inside the lines

So how did I get out?

By some rebel angel?

Was I blessed?

Or by some devils, maybe in lead

One by one we all choked on the lies

How did I get out alive?

Hang down to save you

If you struggle and fight,

You just may get out too.

If you struggle and fight you just may get out too
