Steppenwolf - Suicide lyrics
[Steppenwolf - Suicide lyrics]
The spirit it was freedom and justice
And it's keepers seemed generous and kind
Its leaders were supposed to
Serve the country
But now they won't pay it no mind
'Cause the people grew fat and got lazy
Now their vote is a meaningless joke
They babble about law and order
But it's all just an echo
Of what they've been told
Yeah, there's a monster on the loose
It's got our heads into the noose
And it just sit's there watchin'
The cities have turned into jungles
And corruption is stranglin' the land
The police force is watching the people
And the people just can't understand
We don't know how to mind our own business
'Cause the whole world's got to
Be just like us
Now we are fighting a war over there
No matter who's the winner
We can't pay the cost
'Cause there's a monster on the loose
It's got our heads into the noose
And it just sit's there, watching
And it's keepers seemed generous and kind
Its leaders were supposed to
Serve the country
But now they won't pay it no mind
'Cause the people grew fat and got lazy
Now their vote is a meaningless joke
They babble about law and order
But it's all just an echo
Of what they've been told
Yeah, there's a monster on the loose
It's got our heads into the noose
And it just sit's there watchin'
The cities have turned into jungles
And corruption is stranglin' the land
The police force is watching the people
And the people just can't understand
We don't know how to mind our own business
'Cause the whole world's got to
Be just like us
Now we are fighting a war over there
No matter who's the winner
We can't pay the cost
'Cause there's a monster on the loose
It's got our heads into the noose
And it just sit's there, watching
