A Tragedy In Progress - Shoot The Messenger lyrics

How does it feel destructing people's lives With the keys at your fingertips? Spewing filth, dispensing lies Why does the truth never find your lips? Praying for catalysts, you're playing god in this town You've created an army of believers I guess that makes us the damned When your mouth starts running away Can you remember this? You're taking food off the table from mouths of hungry kids How can this be freedom of speech When your words leave them oppressed? I think it's time we shoot the messenger And let god sort out the rest Shoot the messenger And let god sort out the rest Shoot the messenger And let god sort out the rest BLACK WHITE READ ALL OVER Does anyone have a guess? The misinformed will seek out the truth No matter what your paper says And when your mouth starts running away Can you remember this? You're taking food off the table from mouths of hungry kids How can this be freedom of speech When your words leave them oppressed? (when your words leave them oppressed?) I think it's time we shoot the messenger And let god sort out the rest This is nothing more than propaganda A modern tall tale wrapped up and delivered each day Your ignorance drives the cause you advocate And your influence leads them all astray Astray, ugh! How does it feel destructing people's lives With the keys at your fingertips? Spewing filth, dispensing lies Why does the truth never find your lips? Praying for catalysts, you're playing god in this town You've created an army of believers I guess that makes us the damned
