Delusion:All
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
...
