The Dear Hunter - Ring 5 - Middle Class lyrics

Hard to believe He lets us wake up every day
Glory to He who keeps the alien away

'Cause we have been assigned to turn
One and one to three
But God says
"Keep away the blood of the refugee"
So, most of us will come to
See that we may never leave
But if we could

"Believe us! Believe us! Oh yeah
We got it so good
That we'll stay here with our
Heads right in the sand
Just like we should"

Wе would love if it was better out thеre
And we would fix it if we only had the time
But the business begets a blindness
And the comforts enjoyed eclipse our eyeline

So when you are assigned to turn
One and one to three
Do your job or go the way of the refugee
Like most of us
You'll come to see that we may never leave
But if we could

"Believe us! Believe us! Oh yeah
We got it so good
Whenever you need us
You've got us on the hook
Yeah, we'll stay here with our
Heads right in the sand
Just like we should
Yeah, we'll stand proud with our
Heads in the ground
Just like you said we should"

Muted shades give way to inner riot
Creases deepen under your command
But worry leads to nothing anyway
And who are we to whine?
When, at the end of the day, we've realized
We're just doing time

They got you buying your chains

Hard to believe we've never realized
That we'll run out of room to grow
Maybe we'll marry up
Maybe we'll have a daughter who marries up
Maybe she'll have a daughter who marries up
At least you're kind enough to
Meet in the middle
Between what has kept us alive and thriving
And what makes us wanna die for your light
On us to shine

But we gotta - come on
What did we expect now?
We keep our heads down half the time
No need to reflect how
There really isn't anything to do
So sit back and power through
Better than take your chance in the earth
Best to live than to die
For what you're worth

They got you buying your chains
They got you buying your chains
They got you buying your chains
They got you buying your chains
