Lyrics:

[English]

They'll conquer us if we divide

And no one will listen to you

We gotta stand up and draw a line

It's time to fall back or shoot

Why does it feel like they don't feel anything?

I pray there's a future behind those walls, but maybe I'm delusional

Let's make a deal, pretend this bastard democracy

Is just how we want it and we're not exhausted

But maybe we're delusional

...

We're all de-fucking-lusional

...

When everything's supposed to happen for a reason

And every talking head expects ya to believe them

But we don't need them, we are the kingdom

We know the amount that we have shared was never even

Why does it feel like they don't feel anything?

I pray there's a future behind those walls, but maybe I'm delusional

Let's make a deal, pretend this bastard democracy

Is just how we want it and we're not exhausted

I know

In order to be free, you gotta let go

But know that once you do, that's when they take hold

Everything's fair in love and war, so

Why does it feel like they don't feel anything?

I pray there's a future behind those walls, but maybe I'm delusional

Let's make a deal, pretend this bastard democracy

Is just how we want it and we're not exhausted

But maybe we're delusional

But maybe we're delusional

We are delusional, whoa

...

We're all de-fucking-lusional

...
