lyrics

you’re not bleeding
you have no visible scars
but you are screaming
bloody murder
at the top of your lungs
your protests
fall on dead ears
your second guesses
belie what you have done

let’s get ready to paint the town red
you may die, you may improve your street-cred

you’re not crying
behind the bullet-proof glass
you are laughing
at the fray
on the other side
your contempt
is plain upon your face
it’s something your shit-eating
grin could never hide

let’s get ready to paint the town red
you may kill, you may end up dead

you’re not pleading
with the powers that be
you’re in the cockpit
at the helm
and crosshairs
what does policy
matter versus might?
you stand
and fight
who cares what’s right or fair?

let’s get ready to paint the town red
you may find you have been misled.
