Shades of Green

lyrics

Visionaries getting buried while they're living
Bare witness to a perilous existence
The air is thick pollution impair the senses
Careful where you step the root of evil is within inches
Wars at the front door people in the trenches
Torrential blood pour lethal injection
Machine of greed imperialist agenda
Release the beast five oh lead the procession
Body bags and dollar signs
Founding fathers autograph the dotted line
Volatile visceral spark the crime
Pillaging the block to keep a piece of the rotten pie
All rise for your honor
The righteous have fallen go and buy what you wanna
I'm just following the way that I was raised to be
We all pray faithfully to different shades of green

Way out, feel the force the world moves against you
Break down, reveal your worth a verdict of servitude
Pray now, give life and let your god desert you
Faith drowns, vultures circling above virtue

Pushing daisies through eyelids
Got you consuming while you sleep
If all this bullshit is relevant, why is the truth obsolete
Opressor got the upper hand
Spitting crumbs with tongue in cheek
In the company of karma, blood is what I seek
