Lyrics The Wildhearts

The Wildhearts

The New Flesh

We are born into a time of innocent Americans

Attacked for trying to job while some Bin Laden motherfucker

Takes the credit, but instead of heading to Afghanistan

To take him out they went to bomb Iraq and kill some families

Children die because of some imaginary weapons and

To find one of the many, many terrorists upon the planet

Meanwhile the psychopaths accountable for killing every

Innocent are both sitting safely out of range

Armageddon orchestrated, televised and exaggerated

We were lied to and we won't get fooled again

We are, we are, we are the new flesh

We are, we are the only ones left

We're the dog you beat down once too much

We're the cornered rat that will fight back

We are born into a time our population is divided

Poor and hungry people share the planet with the wealthy and

The multi-billion industries pay politicians, actors and

Musicians more than it would take to shelter all the homeless, and

The governments ignore the underfunding of researching into

Mental health, allowing over 70% of people

Undereducated while the suicides per annum keep

Increasing and the narcotics keep the treated pacified

Fame and fortune un-donated by the overpaid and the overrated

We were lied to and we won't get fooled again

We are, we are, we are the new flesh

We are, we are the only ones left

We're the dog you beat down once too much

We're the cornered rat that will fight back

We are, we are, we are the new flesh

We are, we are the only ones left

We're the dog you beat down once too much

We're the cornered rat that will fight back

This virus breeds inside your system

We are, we are, we are the new flesh

We are, we are the only ones left

We're the dog you beat down once too much

We're the cornered rat that will fight back

We are, we are, we are the new flesh

We are, we are the only ones left

We're the dog you beat down once too much

We're the cornered rat that will fight back

We are, we are, we are the new flesh

We are, we are the only ones left

We're the dog you beat down once too much

We're the cornered rat that will fight back

This virus breeds inside your system
