Cognitive Dissonance

Lyrics

[Verse 1] We got hope and change in America From the LA streets to DC Our country's left in dire need Be it a sitting duck for the buckshot Or an activist who takes aim At those who rigged this fucking game [Pre-Chorus 1] Listen! Depression takes its toll There's no future, no hope In this fuckin' endless abyss Our hypocrisy lives [Pre-Chorus 2] And it's killing us with a vengeance Like never before Corruption runs amok In the state of perpetual war [Chorus] It's an actual emergency It's not a drill Cognitive dissonance is blinding us While the bastards are alive and well [Verse 2] Your freedom was taken Too much for granted And soon, you'll find out what it meant It's a divide-and-conquer mentality And that's what we have to beat So, take the lead and follow me [Pre-Chorus 1] Listen! Consider this the last call Either rise up or fall Time to cut to loose, break free From the chains which bind me [Pre-Chorus 2] And yet we keep on searching for reason Or face to place blame Then carry on with a guilty smile No cares, no shame [Chorus] It's an actual emergency It's not a drill Cognitive dissonance is blinding us While the bastards are alive and well [Bridge] Alive and well Huh! Alive and well Listen! [Solo] [Pre-Chorus] And it's killing us with a vengeance Like never before Corruption runs amok In the state of perpetual war [Chorus] It's an actual emergency It's not a drill Cognitive dissonance is blinding us While the bastards are alive and well
