I run like ridges through the trepid dusk
Don't feel I need to but I feel I must
I can't stand for what this country does
But I still stand upright when I stand up
You don't hear us but the future does
You plant fear but it's just chalked dust
You live here but you don't speak for us
You look so crooked when you stand up
I decided after I was born
I wouldn't work for a futile horn
I concluded after I woke up
I wouldn't listen to the stupid buzz
You look so useless in your riot gear
You give your money to the preachers' tier
You can't help it if it's insincere
Your life's a joke and no one's laughing here
You have a uniform and Stockholm guilt
You love the fortress that your master's built
You exist because of placid filth
Your grandfathers never spared the hilt
I can't see clearly but I hold my stare
I can't fake it if it's so unfair
I was told to but I couldn't dare
I won't live my life without a care
You sound stupid but it makes you proud
You can't stand to be a face in the crowd
You think you're special as you try to endow
But you multiply and talk so loud
I'm disgusted by your train of thought
You're mistrustin' just how hard they fought
Not our soldiers but civilians here
The only difference is your chosen fear
