Lyrics

[Verse 1] And there's a fire on the borders And it's burning down the walls you built high And there's a steady stream of anger And it's spilling from the coasts A tidal wave [Pre-Chorus] And the words say we reap what we sow So where I bury you I'll build my home In line to reclaim, but we're sick of the wait [Chorus] We want it all and we want it now Tonight I watched your fires burn out The cold dead hands we pried these guns from are yours Oh-oh-oh-oh, we want it all and we want it now A tide is comin' to drown you out We make ourselves at home while your body's still warm Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, woah [Verse 2] (Go!) Tradition tethers us to rituals And are we all just clocks on wrong times? And something triggers each and every time I hear you say "God bless this place" [Pre-Chorus] But your numbers are dwindling now Though endangered we'll still hunt you down With heads on a stake, long may you reign [Chorus] We want it all and we want it now Tonight I watched your fires burn out The cold dead hands we pried These guns from are yours Oh-oh-oh-oh, we want it all and we want it now A tide is coming to drown you out We make ourselves at home while your body's still warm Oh-oh-oh-oh, yeah [Verse 3] And there's a fire on the borders And it's burning down the walls you built high And there's a steady stream of anger And it's spilling from the coasts A tidal wave [Chorus] We want the motherfucking world and we want it now (Woah) Tonight I watched your fires burn out The cold dead hands we pried these guns from are yours Oh-oh-oh-oh, yeah [Outro] No, I don't wanna wait I know a better way So step aside, come on Or better yet, just go away Our chance has finally come There might not be another one now No, we're not gonna wait, we want it now Yeah, we're dousing the flames, we want it now
