Outside you there's a remedy Inside you is an enemy This twist of irony Can I say you were ever a friend to me? (Just like we promised) And you know it was never a lie The fallen son that bought our freedom Is the I, the I that had to die (Chorus) Outside you there's a remedy A destiny in identity Is it the shot heard round the world Or just one more apology? You wrote us off for so long So, so long We burned that bridge instead And now we've got a song You'd better think again 'Cause it's long overdue So many more of us Than there are of you Now I can release you Apart from anything To your corruption (We sing this dedication) As justice comes in many forms This is no exception The hero, Truthless, is lying prostrate (And this is our redemption) (Chorus) The contract on my head Isn't worth the paper, isn't worth the pen Isn't worth the plastic promise When the units aren't moving But we know, we know Our hearts are beyond prices These words, erupting from swollen tonsils Will devour your clever devices (These words are my gift to you) My gift to you, these words (These words are my gift to you) For everything you put us through I used to want to change the world In brotherhood, us two But now, my friend I only want to save it from you I bid farewell to those lonely days Breaking my back for you to siphon my veins The masters will now return To the hands of the slaves And we'll spin them reel to reel So that every single time you hear This soundtrack of the voiceless You'll know the end is drawing near Can I say you were ever a friend to me? No Now you know!
