A ma** of hands press on the market window Ghosts of progress Dressed in slow d**h Feeding on hunger And glaring through the promise Upon the food that rots slowly in the aisle A ma** of nameless at the oasis That hides the graves beneath the masters hill Buried for drinking The rivers water While shackled to the line At the empty well This is the new sound Just like the old sound Just like the noose wound Over the new ground This is the new sound Just like the old sound Just like the noose wound Over new ground Listen to the fascist sing Take hope here War is elsewhere You were chosen This is god's land Soon well be free Of blot and mixture Seeds planted by our Forefathers hand A ma** of promises Begin to rupture Like the pockets Of the new world kings Like swollen stomachs In Appalachia Like the priests that f** you As they whisper holy things A ma** of tears have transformed to stones now Sharpened on suffering Woven into slings Hope lies in the rubble of this rich fortress Taking today what tomorrow never brings This is the new sound Just like the old sound Just like the noose wound Over new ground This is the new sound Just like the old sound Just like the noose wound Over the new ground Is the new soundJust like the old sound? Just like the noose wound Over the new ground Aint the new sound Just like the old sound?
