lyrics

If you saw the scene you stirred today
Then maybe you would watch the words you say

Like a needle on the compass of blame your finger only points away
If you lack a single ounce of substance, substitute with what they say
Pick your truths and deny all other hues
Relevance irrelevant
Just let em shiver behind the screen
You haven't got a single shred of respect

If you saw the scene you stirred today
Then maybe you would watch the words you say

But if you wanna chase the golden throne
Then go ahead and

Tell it like it is
Tell 'em all the lies
Tell 'em how you'll cut them down to size
Tell 'em you're the one with all of the answers
Tell 'em that they're watching from the other side

Tell it like it is
Tell 'em that we're right
Tell 'em that we're going to have to fight
Tell 'em that the world has turned against 'em
Tell 'em that they're coming for your every right

Outrageous turns to monotony and consequence is far away
Doesn't matter what they mean, they're only just the words you say
It's no longer about what's right, it's only about who wins
And when they're bangin on our front door
It's too late to tuck away your sins

If you saw the scene you stirred today
Then maybe you would watch the words you say

If you wanna lead us all astray
Then go ahead and

Tell it like it is
Tell 'em all the lies
Tell 'em how you'll cut them down to size
Tell 'em you're the one with all of the answers
Tell 'em that they're watching from the other side

Tell it like it is
Tell 'em that we're right
Tell 'em that we're going to have to fight
Tell 'em that the world has turned against 'em
Tell 'em that they're coming for your every right

If you saw the scene you stirred today
Then maybe you would watch the words you say

But if you wanna flout democracy
Then go ahead and

Tell it like it is
Tell 'em all the lies
Tell 'em how you'll cut them down to size
Tell 'em you're the one with all of the answers
Tell 'em that they're watching from the other side

Tell it like it is
Tell 'em that we're right
Tell 'em that we're going to have to fight
Tell 'em that the world has turned against 'em
Tell 'em that they're coming for your every right
