Lyrics
Nothing suffocates you more than the passing of everyday human events Isolation is the oxygen mask you make your children breath into survive But I'm not a slave to a god that doesn't exist I'm not a slave to a world that doesn't give a shit And when we were good you just closed your eyes So when we are bad we'll scar your minds fight, fight, fight, fight You'll never grow up to be a big-rock-star-celebrated-victim-of-your-fame They'll just cut our wrists like cheap coupons and say that death was on sale today And when we were good you just closed your eyes So when we are bad we'll scar your minds But I'm not a slave to a god that doesn't exist I'm not a slave to a world that doesn't give a shit the death of one is a tragedy but the death of millions is just a statistic. But I'm not a slave to a god that doesn't exist I'm not a slave to a world that doesn't give a shit fight, fight, fight, fight
