lyrics

My brain's a Molotov cocktail of chemicals
I want to detonate myself and burn down
This growing police state we live in
The only direct action I'd get is shot

You can't reform a corrupt system
You can't fix what's working as intended
You can't stop what it's designed to do
You need to throw it away and start from scratch

Wasting billions of dollars to kill other countries
While we police ourselves to death
For a greater good that's never coming

You can't reform a corrupt system
You can't fix what's working as intended
You can't stop what it's designed to do
You need to throw it away and start from scratch

The best you can offer me is no change at all
Tell me that my ideals are a pointless dream
I don't need your permission to build a better world
I don't need you to stop this fucking mess

A few bad apples spoils the goddamn bunch
Finish your fucking sentence when you put forward your bullshit justifications for violence
That stupid idiom you push doesn't even support your defenseless position

Build me up out of straw and burn me down
I just can't bring myself to care what you say

A few bad apples spoils the goddamn bunch
