Corrosion Of Conformity Damned For All Time
They say they live their lives with purity Only looking through the whites of their eyes One nation under God, just like protectory Are they really hearing the third world cries? History repeats itself Self-emulation breeding prosperity As the nation grows, the brotherhood dies "Free as a bird" are words meant for you and me Words that never fit between the lies History repeats itself I was born in a nightmare - didn't have a choice No one seems to listen to 'cos no one seems to hear my voice I am but one of billions - teaming faceless legions Damned to repeat the crimes of those who went before (Chorus) The teeth in the gears of the killing machine Are getting sharper as time moves on As the politician's wingtip presses on the gas A thousand soldiers will soon be gone Plowing through the land to annihlate for peace Another war child is spawned Sowing seeds of destruction in the name of the beast Damned for all time Burning future remembers the smoldering past Just a cruel lesson - chalked-up experience Life is a sin when it begins in an iron mask Die if you try using your biased sense History repeats itself Rivers of corruption flowing way too fast Racing to pollute for their own greed Malnutritioned wings don't have the strength to last Fight to the death over one last seed History repeats itself I am a witness to all that is and all that should not be I am cursed with a vision that forces me to see Sometimes I prayto an unmoving void For the day that I may close my eyes to the horror which fills me inside (Chorus) Damned for all time...
