  • Break down the wall again

    You made a deal with the devil in a bloodbath
    Now there's a price on your head, seal the contract
    Automatic, systematic
    We want our pound of flesh and we slice thick

    Kill 'em all, kill 'em all, no successors
    Flip the script and oppress the oppressors
    Finding strength as we sift through the carnage
    We want our pound of flesh and we'll take it

    You fucking fascist
    You fucking pig

    You sit back as we collapse, packaged up and sold for scraps
    Evade the butcher's tax, then write us off
    And it's hard to stop the bleeding hung from hooks and barely breathing
    But we'll break, break, break down the wall again

    You tell your stories of the things that you've been through
    But they're as false as the teeth that you lie through
    Nobodies buying but you sell, sell, sell
    In the land of the free, you're a slave to your wealth

    You fucking fascist
    Die you fucking pig
    This is the consequence of opulence

    You sit back as we collapse, left to fight over scraps
    While you auction off our backs to buy your crown (force-fed the lies)
    And it's hard to stop the bleeding hung from hooks and barely breathing
    But we'll break, break, break down the wall again
    Break, break, break down the wall

    One mutilation under God
    God in the cross, devil in the nails
    Whatcha gonna buy with all your money in hell?
    God in the cross, devil in the nails
    Whatcha gonna buy with all your money in hell?

    You sit back as we collapse, packaged up and sold for scraps
    While you auction off our backs to pay the tax (eye for an eye)
    Victims of your invention, all we've got are cruel intentions
    But we'll break, break, break down the wall again
    Break, break, break down the wall again

    Cut you up, cut you up, cut you down at your knees
    Watch you beg like a rat for your luxuries
    Cut you up, cut you up, rip the teeth from your mouth
    You won't survive in the slaughterhouse
    Die

    Cut you up, cut you up, cut you down at your knees
    Watch you beg like a rat for your luxuries
    Cut you up, cut you up, rip the teeth from your mouth
    You won't survive in the slaughterhouse Writer/s: Andrew Fulk, Chris Cerulli, Justin Deblieck, Steve Sopchak, Tom Hane

  • Me from OhioFunny….. rich af singing about s--t they don’t have to worry about.
  • Anonymous from U.s.This song targets our POS government and capitalism as a whole. The band's vocalist, Chris Motionless, already stated this.
  • AnonymousIdk where you got the idea of trump (not that I’m for either side of the aisle I hate our crooked government ) but it’s just about capitalism and how the government takes advantage of the poor and the hard working people of the nation while the rich benefit off our backs like cattle in a slaughterhouse . It’s not about one person or the damn pandemic. It’s legit as is…don’t add words to things that were never said. Open your mind before your mouth is all I’ll say to this.
  • AnonymousBro bull crap and stop calling trump the “orange one” that’s F’ing demeaning. You want someone to be mad at look at Biden he’s triple the amount of bad stuff than trump.
  • Metal from EverywhereAnd this really went for the previous president ey? Freaking BS. The current one did the most horrific acts one could do as president.
    This fits like glove to the current one.

    And this comes from an anarchocapitalist in Europe.
    The current one’s stink is all over EU. At least the last one shat his own pants.
    All of them deserve what people have to give them.
