Amazing grace lives disgraced as long as you’ve got the means
Just like all the others we can see your color bleeding out your mask at the seems
Riots in the streets virus at our feet and the whole world’s gonna burn
Doesn’t really matter if the pigs are getting fatter and there still are profits to earn
We were sold on a dream that couldn’t break reality
They said it would be better this time around
But now here we are and we can’t escape from the scars
Despite our broken faces we’ll still win the race in the end
And it’s starting to fray
Isolated devastated wayward wonders led a stray
Set adrift as time moves swift and humanity starts to decay
Quarantine turning green as the knee comes down on our necks
They say I can’t breath through these things and all we want is respect
Tighten up while you still can or we’ll never get back to land
Before they will smash and kick your can down the road.
Well they say it’s part of the game running around shifting the blame
But will you still remember their name next time around
Because we know who we are and we’ll never be stars
If we don’t see just how far we can go
I said tighten up while you still can or we’ll never get back to land
And they will smash and kick you can down the road
But they’re starting to fade
