GREAT DISTRACTION Songtext
von UPRISING

When the victims of violence are invisible it′s vile
Cause war criminals count on compliance to grow the pile
Of the bodies of babies and holy sites that they defiled
Atrocities reduced to seen as numbers in a file

It's the great distraction
Makes you take no action
To buy themselves more time
To finish genocide
It′s the great distraction
Makes you take no action
To buy themselves more time
To finish genocide

Pressing professors, putting on a public show
Police your language, speak wrong and you're a foe
Dissent is dangerous, don't disrupt the status quo
Alliances and arming evil′s all America knows


It′s the great distraction
Makes you take no action
To buy themselves more time
To finish genocide
It's the great distraction
To make you take no action
To buy themselves more time
To finish genocide

Subliminal forces keep your mind in a choke
Every chance to stand up, you buckle and fold
They thrive on your silence, they bet you won′t
End this violence abroad by uprising at home

To accept this truth as a fact of life
Is to give up value in self sacrifice
I'd burn my life just to make things right
Fight every fascist who supports this lie

It′s the great distraction
Makes you take no action
To buy themselves more time
To finish genocide

Genocide
Genocide
Genocide
