Failed State Lyrics by Strike Anywhere

Iron Front

2009

[Verse]
We get torn apart all our lives
Told that we're useless or gifted, loved or despised
Too many generations passed and passing and passing
But all their progress lost its meaning

[Chorus]
We call it evolution, you call it a crime
But as we run from your culture, you're running out of time
Self-immolation just to keep you warm tonight
How far could this world go to reject you?

[Verse]
We get torn apart all our lives
Told that we're useless or gifted, loved or despised
Too many generations passed and passing and passing
But all their progress lost its meaning

[Chorus]
We call it evolution, you call it a crime
But as we run from your culture, you're running out of time
Self-immolation just to keep you warm tonight
How far could this world go to reject you?
To reject you!
How far could this world go to reject you?

[Breakdown]
I will not fall in line
I will not break in time
We can rebuild this
Beyond all our lives
I will not fall in line
I will not break in time
I will not fall in line
How far could this world go to reject you?
