Never Rest in Peace Lyrics by Star Fucking Hipsters

Never Rest in Peace

2009

[Verse 1]
"Hard persuasion," "interrogation"
They call it what they will
They just don't call it "torture"
All the same, it fits the bill
A man will tell you anything
If faced with pain and fear
While isolated, separated
From all that they hold dear
[Chorus]
Tooth for tooth and eye for eye
It makes us all the same
Political war criminals
We elect and know their names
[Verse 2]
To police the world's insanity
When, at home, there's a mess
Incarcerating innocents
Is the one thing we do best
We must have these fucking criminals
All doing real time
No suspended-sentence cover-ups
For brutal, wicked crimes
[Chorus]
United States' hypocrisy
Got straight "A"s on the test
And our corporate corruption
Is, quite simply, the best
We'll go down like the Salem witches
Proven innocent
Then you'll grasp the ugly truth of
Just how your tax dollars have been spent
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
And we're so good at internment
It's so hard to concentrate
While trading blood for oil
To construct our police state
Protecting the environment
Like our civil liberties
We'll show the world our freedom
Beaten, gagged, bound, and dragged
Forced down onto our knees
[Bridge]
We didn't start this fire
You never came in peace
Wide awake and chained in place
And stolen from their families
You've crossed the line again
With eager pad and pen
Coerced, undressed, inhuman stress
"Tell us how, and we'll confess"
Locked up and thrown away
The key was never made
Another culture to be
Scapegoated as mystery
Control by threat of fear
The same throughout the years
The puppet masters profit
Throughout history
Suspicion leads to torture
Humiliation based on faith
Somewhere in a cell, between heaven and hell
Will rise a vengeful wraith
These ghosts will lead the way
Until your dying day
Unstitch the seams in your American dreams
From Guantánamo to Abu Ghraib
[Outro]
You'll never rest in peace
You'll never rest in peace
Sun rises every day
You'll never rest in peace
You'll never rest in peace
You'll never rest in peace
Sun setting every day
You'll never rest in peace
