  • Why must we stay where we don't belong?
    Why must we stay where we don't belong?

    Because there's never gonna be enough space
    So eat the meek, savor the taste
    Because it gonna be a delicacy
    So lick your chops and eat the meek

    Why must we stay where we don't belong?
    Why must we stay where we don't belong, don't belong?

    The factory mass-producing fear
    Bottled, capped, distributed near and far
    Sold for a reasonable price (price)
    The people, they love it, they feed it
    Brush with it, bathe with it, breathe it
    Inject it direct to the blood (blood, blood)
    It seems to be replacing love

    Why must we stay where we don't belong?
    Why must we stay where we don't belong, don't belong?

    Because there's always gonna be token truth
    Forgotten code, discarded youth
    You know there's always gonna be pedigree
    One own the air, one pay to breathe

    Why must we stay where we don't belong?
    Why must we stay where we don't belong?

    Why must we stay where we don't belong?
    We don't belong

    That one? That was good
    You messed up that one?
    I didn't mess that one up
    And it sounded like somebody dropped a bowl of Rice Crispies in the PA, croak's in there
    Did it?
    That was a crackle-pop, didn't you hear that?
    Hey (hey)
    Melvin, he says something too
    This is our other thing we do, it's kinda neat
    We're doing eight songs in six minutes? Writer/s: Michael John Burkett
