House Arrest

Hear the clock ticks

like the bombs

of history

jail time

ticking outside

they keep us treading the lines

the stocks and figures

hands shake

then triggers

powers-that-be

clean up

the waste of our dreams

all your trends,

back ends

and we all know what it means

I walk this wasteland with you

but it’s the least I can do

I walk this wasteland with you

and it’s the least I can do

and they say

give it time

while we stand

in the lines

and

our anthems

diluted to bind us

trapped in this cage

it defines us

for

a fairer future

these flags we burn

in the name

of 'civilization'

repression

unlearn

I walk this wasteland with you

but it’s the least I can do

I walk this wasteland with you

but it’s the least I can do

All the lines

yesterday went by

All the lines

yesterday went blind

this toxic nerve

release us

this toxic nerve

release us

this toxic nerve

release

and get us the

fuck out of here

I walk this wasteland with you

but it’s the least I can do

I walk this wasteland with you

but it’s the least I can do

I walk this wasteland with you

I walk this wasteland with you

I walk this wasteland with you

and it’s the least I can do
