"Sunspotting" lyrics

"Sunspotting"

Hear the preachers from the pulpits of power
Spin the lies they sell that give the youth our rage
In a society built on distraction
Holy material, excess strength and the bars on our cage

Instigate, awake, overcome mistakes
Are we gonna break? Steal back the truths they take
Pretty chains of hate, what the system makes
At war from once without and now within

We're all trying to reach beyond
The plastic truths of our nature
Soiled by miscircumstance
Soiled by miscarriage of justice

Beyond the truths of a television lie
The rot and myopia of this self-consuming utopia

Youth enrage, instigate, awake, overcome mistakes
Are we gonna break? Steal back the truths they take
Pretty chains of hate, what the system makes
At war from once without and now within

Breaking the tide over our shoulders and out into
The children of a justice-starved world to win above
The mockeries of patriotism
The flags flying under the billboards are the blind spots in our eyes

The comfort of the boss' hands
Around our hearts, around these lands
The morals of paper
Where it stood and where we'll stand tonight
The comfort of the boss' hands
Around our hearts, around these lands
The morals of paper
Where it stood and where we'll stand tonight

Where it stood and where we'll stand tonight
Where it stood and where we'll stand tonight
A world to win
Where it stood and where we'll stand tonight

Now we're all working in our hearts in our dreams to change
Our state tears our seams
And choose our new destinies much more than this
What we could hold in our hands
What we could hold in our

Youth enrage, instigate, awake, overcome mistakes
Are we gonna break? Steal back the truths they take
Pretty chains of hate, what the system makes
At war from once without and now within
