"Stand Down" lyrics

"Stand Down"

I see this army of the ill informed
Out for blood, out for war
Born innocent, adopt this ignorance
You've got nothing to say
Stand down

(Stand down)

Lock, stock, in shackles you rot
Don't blame the so called sane
What have you got?
Not much; tunnel vision and persistence to do it again and again

Echo chambers revolving
Your narrow mind is loaded
For you I'll spin it, again and again

I see this army of the ill informed
Out for blood, out for war
Born innocent, adopt this ignorance
You've got nothing to say
Stand down

It's a catastrophe
We saw it coming
Blind to the logic
Dying to disprove it
We're fighting fire with fire
Stand down

It's a catastrophe
We did nothing
Lies to deliver
Finger on the trigger
If you've got nothing to say
Stand down

No chance for the truth to prevail here
When you're surrounded by fucking degenerates

Echo chambers revolving
Your narrow mind is loaded
For you I'll spin it, again and again and again
And now you're dead to the world

I see this army of the ill informed
Out for blood, out for war
Born innocent, adopted ignorance
You've got nothing to say to me
Stand down

It's a catastrophe
We saw it coming
Blind to the logic
Dying to disprove it
We're fighting fire with fire
Stand down

It's a catastrophe
We did nothing
Lies to deliver
Finger on the trigger
And now you're dead to the world

I hold myself in contempt
For all those that I resent

As the tragedy unfolds
And all their stories are told
(The world has seen this before)
(Now watch as the words start to fail you)
(The world has seen this before)
How could we all just ignore?
