it’s all we know   to resist to replace to reload   scary   invulnerable   from a distance we watch it unfold   on and on we go      it’s all on automatic   it wouldn’t take us very long to mend this   don’t be so coy about it   you’d rather sacrifice the young than risk your image      the safety is off      are you standing in the way?   a revolution in the waste      how strong you need to be   how much you need to lead   this time we’re all in gear   to watch this catastrophe   no hand will hold or feel   this peace that couldn’t be   this time the weapons real   restart the history      the afterglow of the radioactive exposed   scary   containment holds, as the world outside it corrodes   on and on we go      villains so diplomatic   convince the meek that they’ll be young forever   enlist the disenchanted   their greatest strength is in their own dysfunction      the safety if off      are you standing in the way?   a revolution in the waste      how strong you need to be   how much you need to lead   this time we’re all in gear   to watch this catastrophe   no hand will hold or feel   this peace that couldn’t be   this time the weapons real   restart the history   can you hear the march call   pouring out of the factories   reclaim your own song   rewrite the symphony   overnight the truth falls   into a memory   what can we ever do   that part’s a mystery
