Well I've never had much faith
In my elected officials
And I've never cast a ballot for the less of two evils
It never made much sense to me
Then I saw the flame
In the hearts of evil men
Feeling no shame because the media's playing
Lucifer's speeches all day
They watered the seeds of hundreds years past
With the devil on their side they stopped hiding
And I know that you've fought fight after fight
But we need you to fight once more
I haven't seen many
Angels stay angels
Long after Peter invited them in
Ain't long before Adam drags them out
The pit bosses told me
"Keep playing that machine"
Under the notion that I should win more
More and more over time
No wall can be built can't be torn down to the ground
No golden tower can outshine the sounds of our spaces
We'll take what we need and we'll take it when we need it
We'll water the seeds of a hundred years future
Any way we can we will
And I know that you've fought fight after fight
But we need you to fight once more
