[Verse 1]
Citizen!
Whence came your voice your right to speak?
Is there a purpose to your tongue and gnawing teeth?
I ask thee: How deep and hollow is your mouth?
What lie is too decayed for you to stomach?
[Bridge]
With humility and obedience
You pride yourself
Evasive and lukewarm
Until the end
[Verse 2]
Citizen!
The interdependent morality of your collective
Made too soft the bed in which you lie
I ask thee: Do you acknowledge your own fragility
When you sleep to serve the "Greater Good"?
[Bridge]
United in fear
Lives "hard to bear"
Illusions that "we are all peers"
I preach not for understanding
In you I have no faith
I spit at you my truth
That you are the burden of my heritage
