Lyrics The Jackals - Ten Foot Pole

The Jackals

We argued about policies and what is fair
We fought about fake news and what was true
Our kind regard descended into bitterness
A wedge between us two, dividing me and you
Can we just talk?
You cut me off, unfriended me
Cuz I’m in shock
Ten years of trust gone instantly
And if you think I’m the enemy
The damage has been done
And the jackals have won
Divide and conquer is their strategy
Brothers fighting brothers is the plan
Poisoning our words, distracting you and me
While stealing all they can
The money and the land
Trolling the proles
Sewing discontent in hearts and planting seeds of resentment and frustration
Probing our roles
Pressing differences so we don’t rise to smash architects of manipulation
Somehow we got turned around we got to bring the jackals down
Pull off the shackles and storm the castles and burn them to the ground
No compromises, too late for kindness
Let’s take the privile that they denied us
And build a world that’s fair and just and sound
