Within the Ruins - Ivory Tower lyrics

False gods!

There are more criminals among us
Than behind cold prison walls
They stand on podiums above us
False promises masked in their calls

Powers that lead fail to set precedent
Lie, cheat, fake, steal
Paint themselves in innocence
What will we do? 'cause the fire
Is in our own backyard powers that be
Fail to set precedent
Lie, cheat, fake, steal
Dress themselves in abhorrence

How can we, can we change?
What does not want to change
How can we have a voice?
While our mouths are sewn shut

False gods!

A simple smile can only hide so much
This behavior is predictable and must
Be treated as such
They'll always use our hope as their crutch

Powers that lead fail to set precedent
Lie, cheat, fake, steal
Paint themselves in innocence

Powers that be fail to set precedent
Lie, cheat, fake, steal
Dress themselves in abhorrence
What will we do? 'cause the fire
Is in our own backyard

How can we change, can we change?
What does not want to change
How can we have a voice?
While our mouths are sewn shut

We'll shrug our shoulders and accept the
Fact that we're all just fucked
We're all fucked

What will we do? 'cause the
Fire is in our backyard we're all fucked
