My Father's Father's
Beneath the Hollow
It's fucking gone
in a fraction of a second
pressure waves and a blast of heat
carnage indiscriminate
just feed the fucking vultures
Festering hate from generations of a coin flip battle
No context, no remembering
dehumanize, keep them rattled
Keep feigning virtue
To pacify
My father's father's
and now it's mine
Don't tell me
You better pick a side
cause I don't want to fight
Better prepare for war
It happens every time
They say that War is hell but goddamn is it profitable
We hear the sounds of sorrow
They hear the bankroll
It's fucking on
with just a hint of deception
twisting minds and hearts around
little lies and phrases carry weight
as they flow downstream
Building resentment from mistruths of
who the enemies are
No second thoughts, no reasons why
emotions be my guide
Cataclysmic rhetoric
To justify
My father's father's
and now it's mine
Don't tell me
You better pick a side
I didn't start this fight
Better prepare for war
It happens every time
They say that War is but hell goddamn is it profitable
We hear the sounds of sorrow
They hear the bankroll
Why do we always stay?
we've got no reason to change
Heads down, ears shut
and No reason
They say history is written by the victors
so speak softly and carry a great big fuckin stick
Don't let the warhawks down
They say that War is but hell goddamn my party loves it
We hear the sounds of sorrow
They get the power just rolling in
Why do we always stay?
we've got no reason to change
Heads down, ears shut
and no fucking reason
