Dying to Defend Lyrics by Despondent

Proud to Fail

0

What drives a man to dying to defend;
A government that never listened to a single word he said
And when there isn't any threat - does he question their intent?
Well, he's just a victim, and you're a witness
An accessory to the crown
Taught not to question; independence is a threat
And there's no room for hesitation when the orders have been sent
He wears an emblem on his chest, does he know what it represents?
He's just a victim, and you're a witness
An accessory to the crown
And do the spin doctors expect us to really just accept
All the lies that they invent?
Well, he's just a victim, and you're a witness
An accessory to the crown
Well my defiance is so easy to condemn
My point of view so cynical so simple to forget
And when these men are lying dead;
Will you spare a thought for them, oh do you really f*ckin care?
