Other Men (Lyrics)

the system works if you go along you're pepper sprayed when you say it's wrong it's business above ethics and human rights shake hands and smile for the flashing lights long hot summer turn to freezing winters riots die out but the problems linger and we bury our heads in a mound of lies that we see as truths in these frightened eyes dying for the causes lining the pockets of other men they shipped you off to the middle east to fight for North American democracy nationalistic rhetoric had you fooled marched in time to die for fuel but who were the ones that stood to gain from all the spoils that could be obtained? and who got left holding the bag? his only refuge an anthem and flag and I wonder what it will take for us to learn from all of their mistakes is this some noble cause? or fucking pride that's got you holding this gun because despite what you think what they say is rarely ever the truth and time again it's all so clear you finally see who is being used but we're still finding ways in our hearts to justify it all
