For Broken Ears Songtext
von Chuck Ragan

Where are the ones that carry their guns
To the far away lands with the blackened suns
From the smoke and narrow minds
The half-truth trails and the holy lies
Of an empty heart and overflowing mouth
A plastic smile and a coward′s frown
Repercussions come around
When the word named free burns to the ground somehow

Where are the deaf and where are the dumb
From the side of the tracks
Where no reason comes from
And the tables never bare
The water runs and momma's always there
So who separates the world from the start
With such words would come and such thoughts would cause
A shot heard round the world
Or just as sad never heard at all


So down down down like a ball of flames
To the rotten core filling up with names
Of hypocrites what a massive list
Don′t exclude yourself from it
Don't compromise administration lies
Carried out and covered up with time
Carried out and turned around to shine
High on a pedestal of broken lies

Compassion speaks loud
For itself falls on broken ears
And off the value shelf
Into the dirt left to the wind
Coming up strong ready to begin
To obliterate the word from the start
Where such ideas come and such ideas cause
A spark that'll set a blaze
And leave the embers red until the end of days

So down down down like a ball of flames
To the rotten core filling up with names
Of hypocrites with a massive list
Don′t exclude ourselves from it
Don′t compromise administration lies
Carried out and covered up with time
Carried out and turned around to shine
We're high on a pedestal of broken lies


Where are the ones who carry their guns
To the far away lands with the blackened suns
From the smoke and narrow minds
The half-truth trails and the holy lies
Of an empty heart and overflowing mouth
A plastic smile and a coward′s frown
Repercussions come around
When the word named free burns to the ground somehow
