When it all falls to pieces There'll be nothing left to see Same story repeating The chaos and piracy If you refuse to play They'll send a boy to your front door Throw those thoughts away 'Cause you won't need them anymore 'Cause names have gone MIA They're on holiday Time to tear down those names Time to tear down those names Time to tear down those names Time to tear down those names There's been a change in the weather We're witnessing history Throwing beans in the river And banishing bigotry So refuse to play See what the boys have got in store They're coming anyway We can't turn back anymore 'Cause names have gone MIA That was yesterday Time to tear down those names Time to tear down those names Time to tear down those names Time to tear down those names You don't need them anymore You don't need them anymore You don't need them anymore You don't need them anymore You don't need them anymore You don't need them anymore You don't need them anymore You don't need them anymore You don't need them anymore It's time to tear down those names Time to tear down those names It's time to tear down those names It's time to tear down those names

You were there when the whites stormed the Capitol Stood on the beaches the second boats landed Whispered, "Take it all" Looked on as they were stealing children from their homes Then turned away as they threw 'em in cages Left 'em nowhere to go You took all the names Of the places you stole and Put them in a shallow grave Now they're waking up Kill these old gods You put your money on a pig dressed up as a man If he ain't selling your whitewashed horseshit Maybe no one can You took all the names Of the places you stole and Put them in a shallow grave Now they're waking up Kill these old gods Kill these old gods We are such an unusual species We limit our care to some Create our own hierarchy Only free when we finally got none You took all the names Of the places you stole and Put them in a shallow grave Now they're waking up Kill these old gods Kill these old gods Kill these old gods Kill these, kill these Kill these old gods Kill these, kill these Kill these old gods

There's chaos at the table, piggies in the mud The owners of the company, I think they've had enough It's what we've all been saying, ain't no mystery Ashamed we had to learn to live with this insanity So don't say anything, no You've got blood on your mink coat Don't care what you're thinking It's all part of a sick joke I'm done with everything my God, I'm done with little men Who smile and take your money then go home and wash their hands They talk of power and purity, economy and law They trade in their humanity to treat you like their whores So don't say anything, no You've got blood on your mink coat Don't care what you're thinking It's all part of a sick joke There's blood on your mink coat You've got blood on your mink coat There's blood on your mink coat Just a grifter from the street Be whatever you have to be But your mask is falling And there's nobody underneath Just a grifter from the street Be whatever you have to be But your mask is falling And there's nothing underneath So don't say anything, no You've got blood on your mink coat Don't care what you're thinking It's all part of a sick joke There's blood on your mink coat You've got blood on your mink coat There's blood on your mink coat

The dice was rolled the night Allah made you Always thought you were the golden one So why have you got nothing better to do? Delay the future, delay our future God loves a winner God pays for dinner God hates all you sinners God loves a winner You always looked like such a lovely man If you're confused, maybe ask someone Because when you speak another's heart in your hands And that's the future, if there's a future Did you ever believe in love? What the hell were you thinking of? You sure you didn't dream this up? God loves a winner God pays for dinner God hates all you sinners God loves a winner 'Cause we were 'Cause we were Way past that then Way past that now If this works out I could run my own destiny (oh, yes you can) Preach new sponsorships and sacred profits (oh, yes you can) Kickstart a page for the age of new hypocrites (oh, yes you can) Misjudge the world and everybody on it Did you ever believe in love? What the hell were you thinking of? You sure you didn't dream this up? God loves a winner God pays for dinner God hates all you sinners God loves a winner The dice was rolled the night Allah made you (Because we were) Way past that then Way past that test Way past your best Way past that now

Oh I used to sing for hours 'Bout the mess the world was in And I thought I found the answer Now I don't know what it is Lying awake, awake, awake Trying to find a way, a way When you're waiting for the thrill to return And the world, it leaves you so damn tired Lying awake, writing letters to yourself Trying to find someway to feel the fire Well, we used to talk for ages About changing everything But then life got complicated And we lost that certainty Lying awake, awake, awake Trying to find a way, a way When you're waiting for the thrill to return And the world, it leaves you so damn tired Lying awake, writing letters to yourself Trying to find someway to feel the fire I'm feeling empty I'm hollowed out All this damage I'm writing down I spent my whole life breathing in Now I'm breathing it out When you're waiting for the thrill to return And the world, it leaves you so damn tired Lying awake, writing letters to yourself Trying to find someway to feel the fire When you're waiting for the thrill to return And the world, it leaves you so damn tired Lying awake, writing letters to yourself Trying to find someway to feel the fire Trying to find someway to feel the fire

The last dedicated governments Deal for the rich who pay their rents They've taken our future, the money's spent Was all for a righteous cause They gave into demons who fan the flames There's nowhere to hide once they're awake Weep for our values that lie in state Was all for a righteous cause Yeah Call the police and have them hauled away Yeah Your words collapse under their own weight Yeah Call the police and have them hauled away Yeah Your words collapse under their own weight The fight for our nature must now begin Where those who need it most won't be let in They've changed all the rules so they always win All for their righteous cause So tell us all how you have ownership of the truth You act as if you'll never be judged for what you do With all those little demons that feedback into you Into you Into you Into you Yeah Call the police and have them hauled away Yeah Your words collapse under their own weight Yeah Call the police and have them hauled away Yeah Your words collapse under their own weight We watch the world collapse under its own weight We watch the world collapse under its own weight So tell us all how you have ownership of the truth You act as if you'll never be judged for what you do With all those little demons that feedback into you Into you Into you Into you Yeah Call the police and have them hauled away Yeah Your words collapse under their own weight Yeah Call the police and have them hauled away Yeah Your words collapse under their own weight Watch the world collapse under its own weight Watch the world collapse under its own weight Watch the world collapse under its own weight We watch the world collapse under its own weight

Is that the sound of an empire falling? Fitting into your new jackboots Off to work, your own worst enemy Paint the streets black and blue On your knees at the church of bigotry Wear your pain like a new tattoo They treat you rough, you treat 'em like royalty It's like we don't ever think things through Snatch defeat from the jaws of victory And I get visions of my own kids And it keeps me awake When truth becomes the enemy Awake When no one is surrendering And I can't feel anything I can't feel Round them up, beat them down Sly winks been selling out stadiums What's the point in reaching out When all the love gets crushed by the medium? And I get visions of my own kids And it keeps me awake When truth becomes the enemy Awake When no one is surrendering And I can't feel anything I'm my own worst enemy I wish I could change everything The truth is I'm just lying here awake Awake When did we get so bad telling bad from good? When we settled for less than we know we should When we're living a lie no one understands When we hang on the words of a hollow man When the poor fight the battles of the richest men And the weak have to start watching out again That's the sound of an empire falling That's the sound of an empire falling That's the sound of an empire falling When did we get so bad telling bad from good? When we settled for less than we know we should When did we get so bad telling bad from good? When we settled for less than we know we should

Falling, we reach for the sky Human just part of the time Taken up or taken in It's you who decides Makes no difference, lose or win If you've lost your mind Am I just like you? Turning into someone Who is just like you Voices keep calling out We're all part of them now Make you so powerful But it's they who decide Snake-oil salesmen miracles Wasting your time Am I just like you? Turning into someone Who is just like you We deny the truth Though the mask has fallen Am I just like you? Oh yeah, I'm just like you But that's some shit you're swallowing Get to deny the truth From the rabbit hole you've fallen in Am I just like you? Turning into someone Who is just like you We deny the truth Though the mask has fallen Am I just like you? The end of days The end of days The end of days The end of days The end of days The end of days The end of days The end of days The end of days The end of days The end of days The end of days The end

I know for some it takes a bit, a bit more time I know for some the truth is slowly dawning We used to try and see things from the other side You just see everything that's wrong in your life You're a slave to a tired religion Scream from the side of the road And you pray that you will be forgiven This hate left you nowhere to go You know they're everything you've said, you would never be You hear those lies? They've got your name upon them Yeah, sure things are not how they used to be, though you may try It's just not the same now that we've seen the other side You're a slave to a tired religion Scream from the side of the road And you pray that you will be forgiven This hate left you nowhere to go There are some things we do not control Slow, slow, slow, slow Slow, slow, slowly dawning And that's just pain that's all that is Slow, slow, slowly dawning And it's a wave to ride to ride back in Slow, slow, slowly dawning That's just pain that's all that is Slow, slow, slowly dawning A way to let some light back in Slow, slow, slowly dawning You're a slave to a tired religion Scream from the side of the road And you pray that you will be forgiven This hate left you nowhere to go What's in your head? Don't pass the test There's nothing left, it's slowly dawning Bury your head or count the dead There's nothing left, it's slowly dawning
