Atlas Drowned |
| I’m not leaving tonight |
| Cram the armour and chains where the sun will not shine |
| And who’s to say they won’t bitch out and shoot me on sight? |
| Get that thing out my face |
| I don’t care what it says, this is my goddamned place |
| A traitor to country and glad, 'cause my country’s disgraced |
| I’m not bleeding tonight |
| In the shadow of truncheons with smoke in my eyes |
| You will close in on madness and madness is not civilised |
| There’s no reason now |
| I’m not dumb and you people can’t dick me around |
| And the whole institution is rigged and the ship’s going down |
| I’m cool to let Atlas drown |
| Galt, you can shake |
| You can cry, you can quake |
| You can rot in your sleep |
| You can shrug, you can weep |
| And I’ll watch as you bleed |
| Hey, you jackbooted sheep with your elephant caps |
| I have come for my shit and I won’t take less than that |
| Why believe you are full |
| When you still get your meals from the trash? |
| To you bells in the curve |
| I will love you, but love not the powers you serve |
| Do not grow complacent and take less than what you deserve |
| I’m cool to watch Atlas burn |
| Galt, you can shake |
| You can cry, you can quake |
| You can rot in your sleep |
| You can shrug, you can weep |
| And I’ll watch Atlas bleed |
| And we’ll laugh as he shakes |
| And we’ll go off and breed |
| And we’ll spit on his grave |
| In the heart of redemption, there’s some furious song |
| And the herd is no place for the brave and the strong |
| But I bear no contempt for the ones who just want to belong |
| And these chosen whites are anaemic and small |
| And are truly the lowliest sheep of them all |
| And their eminence is fixed upon things we could burn in one go |
| I’mma let Atlas fall |
| I’mma watch Atlas fall |
