Lyrics 21st Century Heartburn - The Great Deceiver

21st Century Heartburn

The life you lead
Is it worth the effort?
Capitulate!
The life you lead
Is it worth the effort?
Why don’t you capitulate?
You place your hope
In your duties
Responsibilities
The patriarchs
The routines
Uncomplicated
And cold
Of the empty hearts
Of the empty hands
Through barren lands
Proud of our arrogance
We will all waste away
And all of our possessions
They will not keep us safe
Through labyrinths
Of cynicism we run
Scared of the answer
At a common frontier
Of understanding
The last light blinding
Forgiven
For the crime of being
But not for that of seeing
Forgiven
For the crime of breathing
But not for that of believing
Of the empty hearts
Of the empty hands
Through barren lands
Proud of our arrogance
We will all waste away
And all of our possessions
They will not keep us safe
No salvation
No regulation
Propaganda on repeat
No salvation
No regulation
Suffer the load complete
Where’s the hunger?
The dedication?
Where’s the urge
We had to break free?
Where’s the passion?
The appreciation?
For a life not lead
Around in a leash?
Where’s the hunger?
The dedication?
Where’s the passion?
The appreciation?
Where’s the hunger?
Where’s the hunger?
Of the empty hearts
Of the empty hands
Through barren lands
Proud of our arrogance
We will all waste away
And all of our possessions
They will not keep us safe
No salvation
No regulation
Propaganda on repeat
No salvation
No regulation
Suffer the load complete
