The Veils - Vicious Traditions Lyrics

The Veils Lyrics

"Vicious Traditions"

I'd pull my weight if it made any difference
Gave his life for the nine million others
And on his graves written "Here lies Joseph"
His country's gun and innocent soldier

Well fight your way out of this one
Fight your way out of this one
Well fight your way out of this one
Fight your way out of this one

Grew a blood red vision for all their good intentions
Made an easy million from a foreign investment
Danced with the devils in beautiful buildings
Affirmative action for a useful reunion
He'd change his name if it made any difference
He's waiting in line for the lasting confession
On his grave's written "Here lies our son Joseph"
His country's gun and innocent soldier

Fight your way out of this one
Fight your way out of this one
Fight your way out of this one
Fight your way out of this one
Fight your way out of this one
Fight your way out of this one
Fight your way out of this one
