[Verse]
They teach us numbers teach us lies
Forgotten truths under the skies
Books so hollow filled with fear
Knowledge fades it disappears
[Verse 2]
Puppets on strings marching blind
In classrooms hollowed out of mind
Chasing shadows in a burning hall
Never questioning never at all
[Chorus]
Downward spiral hear the sound
Idiots rise while hope’s unbound
Can’t see straight we’re spinning fast
This future’s doomed if we hold the past
[Verse 3]
Voting clowns in suits of pride
Words mean nothing but they ride
Broken wheel in rusted gold
Shouting loud but their hearts cold
[Bridge]
Drum gives way to rising heat
Guitar screams with elbows beat
Solo shatter tear the floor
Vision cracks we demand more
[Chorus]
Downward spiral hear the sound
Idiots rise while hope’s unbound
Can’t see straight we’re spinning fast
This future’s doomed if we hold the past
