The More Things Change

I want you to know this
I want you to know just what i feel
You told me through sacred lies
I told you once with bloodshot eyes
You told me don't ask
Just stay away from me

You told me it'd be alright
I told you once, then told you twice
You can't face
Can't you face me

Chorus:
I won't pray for you
I can't pray for you
Because you took it away
Because you took it from me

First verse
Chorus

Thought i could never ever fuckin'
Find another
Get a muthafuckin' chance again
Because the power
Is the rage that can devour
Gotta make that fear descend

Without it, you ain't shit
And you ain't shit to me
Berating, a scathing
Grave indignity

I see the look
Inside your eyes
It makes me sick
Defiling innocence
Is how you get
Your kicks
You violate, and
Then you think

Yourself a man
You violate, and
Then you call
Yourself a man

Don't come my
Way
Don't care what
You say
Pray you fuckin'
Die
Before you feel

Rage...

It's been around for a thousand years
And it'll be here for plenty more
It is the face hidden in disgrace
That has become now an open sore

It is a false messiah
It is the face of pain
The bringer of the bittersweet
The heretic insane

Take my scars
Through hands of god
I found a better way
To break the walls

Fed all the lies and desensitized
Taught to believe that it is the way
Taught to divide and exactly why
You'll never understand my rage

You've never had to borrow
You've never had to steal
You eat it with your silver spoon
For me it's real

Take my scars
Through hands of god
I found a better way
To break the walls

Lead: robb

Blood and concrete
Piss and wine
Whores that fuck
To feel divine

They'll clean their needles
In their shrine
In ignorance
It's bliss you find

Why can't you
Fuckin' open
Open up your eyes

I am the thing that makes you sick
I am the blame that gets placed quick
Detect the crack within your lie (your lie)

I'll be the wrath of your disdain
I'll be the fear in you engrained
Become the facts that you deny (deny)

I can feel this pain is real
I hate deep down inside
And like broken glass you'll shatter
With bloody fists i'll batter
Like a ten ton hammer, son

1'll be the trembling in your breath
Trickle of blood upon your flesh
You'd love to watch me take the fall - fall!

I'll be the thing that you despise
'cause i'm the path to your demise
And i'm a be there standing tall - tall!

I can feel this pain is real
I hate deep down inside
And like broken glass you'll shatter
With bloody fists i'll batter
Like a ten ton hammer, son

I can't stand or take another day my friend
You could learn a thing or two
I can't stand or take another day my friend
You could learn a thing or two

I can feel this pain is real
I hate deep down inside
And like broken glass you'll shatter
With bloody fists i'll batter
Like a ten ton hammer, son

Give me power to end all of the strife
Courage to kill the pro-life

I don't want to see
You can't change me
You tell me not to bow
Just follow for now
You're oh so holier than thou

The more things change
The more they stay the same
The more things change
The more they stay the same
The more - things change
The more - they stay - the same

Give me patience
To deal with all the strain
Balance to take the
Fuckin' pain

I don't want to fake

And i won't break
We're too happy to be
In our apathy
We smile single
File to the line

The more things change
The more they stay the same
The more things change
The more they stay the same
The more - things change
The more - they stay - the same

So c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon
We gotta wake up
You don't know you're right
Your right from wrong
We gotta wake up

I gotta rise, i'm sick of your lies
And i won't be your scapegoat now
Ain't gonna bend
And won't 'til the end
Understand on my word i vow

A pig, a pig, that's all you'll ever be
Refuse to cower to the swine

I'm sick of it, at the end of my wits
'cause next time that you fuck with mine

I'm gonna snap like
I never have before

Your law's the flaw
Upon this nation
Your lies despised
By generations

I got a friend might
Not walk again
And your laws
Never helped at all
Go fuck your clause, your
Probable cause
Power trippin' above us tall

Afraid, afraid and so you better be
'cause when i call you're not around
Serve and protect

And give some respect
Next time that you shake me down

I'm gonna snap like
I never have before

Your law's the flaw
Upon this nation
Your lies despised
By generations

Your lies despised
Your law's the flaw
Upon this nation
Upon this nation
Upon this nation
Your lies despised
By generations
