Dreams of a time that didn’t exist
A thinking man, who thinks with his fists
Convoy of convolution, placards of hate
Take one step backward, then retaliate
New gods, same prayers
The fantasy that someone cares
Gotta learn where to draw the line
Polish shit and make it shine
Drain the blood and call it wine
By the wayside, forgotten again
An afterthought you once called friend
Ducked reality, square on the chin
Collecting losers to feel like a win
New gods, same prayers
The fantasy that someone cares
Gotta learn where to draw the line
Polish shit and make it shine
Drain the blood and call it wine
