Boysetsfire - Our Time Honored Tradition Of Cannibalism lyrics

(All obsessed with the taste of flesh) From Black Panthers to the CIA Into a sharp wit with a stupid slag We've gone and dug our own hole Cause everybody knows We eat our own Unconcerned with the battle within Instead we're shooting ourselves in the foot So busy fighting each other While the real ba*tards run for cover We shoot our own leaders down Before those in power get the chance So they sit back and laugh While we destroy ourselves Wake up and shudder, We've become our worst enemy Wake up and shudder, We've become our worst enemy We've sold ourselves out Turning inward to our own detriment Forgetting the message that we were to send We've lost, count up Victims, roll call Turning inward to our own detriment Forgetting the message that we were to send We've lost, count up Victims, roll call They're all our own Look back at what we've done Drove out The wrong side Kicked sand in our own eyes Kicked sand in our own eyes With every hero's welcome is another group on the side Ready to fire if they step out of line Just one mistake and the jealous hands claw away Any hope for a better way You bought it, forget it, goodbye So saints be on your toes And heroes be not proud Because as soon as the people rise Someone will tear you down Wake up and shudder We've become our worst enemy Wake up and shudder We've become our worst enemy
