Stockyard Stoics

Woke up Tuesday morning and the whole world turned to red
Buildings falling to the ground, three thousand lying dead
Bodies falling from the sky, no one stopping asking why
Before the billowing smoke has settled back well be ready to attack
Now well be working all day all night long
Just to get back where we started from
[Chorus:]
Cant take no more of this shit but theres no end to it in sight
In the glow of the dying light the smoke gets in my eyes
Woke up Wednesday morning and the hammer is coming down
A uniform on every corner, hypocrisy all around
Wave goodbye to common sense, embrace our newfound prejudice
Before weve finished counting our dead were demanding new bloodshed
Now well be working all day all night long
Just to get back where we started from
[Chorus]
Liberty or security?
Burn it fucking down
Feed at the feast dont foot the bill
Eat of the flesh dont feel the kill
Theres a cold wind blowing and a hungry tide
Waiting just outside the castle gates
Now well be working all day all night long
Just to get back where we started from
And that wasnt much to start with
[Chorus]
The smoke gets in my eyes
And the sights and the sounds and the smells they paralyze
[ Catastrophe Lyrics ]
