...And The World Files For Chapter 11 - The Flatliners

We Only!

We only take what we need

If Only!

If only they could just see these flames are burning green

And the world will end tonight!

Try to find hope in a world where trust means dollars

And you’re always in the struggle if you’ve got a blue collar

The eyes go blind behind the suits and ties

It’s Tme!

Tearing through your pickets, they’re frail and weak already

So look over your shoulder and find something to sell

The money-grubbing liars with the confidence and speed

Are picking at your wallet when you’re trying to break free

The taxes on the public, you sell a lung to cope

We’re always cashing in and tapping out until we’re broke

Your life becomes a number and they’ve got you by the throat

And the flames destroy your last bit of hope

And your wallet feels the dead weight of it all

Waste it, don’t waste it, gotta hesitate

And I’ll scream these words from my throat until we’re all fucking broke

They’ve got you by the throat

We could watch all this ink melt away

And everything else will go up in flames

There’s nothing left of today, of today

And we only take what we need
