Foot to the Throat

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Virginia death threat Virginia creeper vine The hands that feed intent Choke the purpose of this time Take all that you can give And I will make it mine No care for what you've spent Even fool's gold has its shine [Chorus] Never held down, never restrained Virtue's foot to the throat, free of broken chains Thus always to tyrants Laugh at the conquered, the victims now betray [Verse 2] And in this Commonwealth There's merely a common concern for self We hold these lies to be self-evident As the dividends will reflect And in this Commonwealth There's merely a common concern for self The coffers have long run dry [Chorus] Never held down, never restrained Virtue's foot to the throat, free of broken chains Thus always to tyrants Laugh at the conquered, the victims now betray The victims now betray [Bridge] Like a bull in a china shop But the shelves have all been cleared A thief in an empty vault The sheep already sheared [Verse 3] Like a bull in a china shop But the shelves have all been cleared A thief in an empty vault The sheep already sheared A screen door on a submarine An eagle with a broken wing Hope in a dead man's dream The sound of a bell that will never ring [Outro] Oh, you're just wasting time Oh, you're just wasting time You're wasting time
