As humans suffer agonies
The sad fates become their lives
Poets compose verses
History now compromised
We thought we knew the truth
Swallowed the governments line
Remaining eternal subjects
While our spirits slowly die
Its a capital opportunity
Too turn the knife
With the backs of millions facing them
Like rogue assassins in the night
A source of persistent pleasure
The story makes it what it is
Playwrights compose dramas
Actors play at being kids
We thought we knew the truth
Swallowed the governments line
Remaining eternal subjects
While our spirits slowly die
Suburban sprawl begotten
From old monochrome TeeVees
Promised whispers of ancient gunfire
Assaults the mind with cynical ease
We thought we knew the truth
Swallowed the governments line
Remaining eternal subjects
While our spirits slowly die
Its a capital opportunity
Too turn the knife
With the backs of millions facing them
Like rogue assassins in the night
We thought we knew the truth
Swallowed the governments line
Remaining eternal subjects
While our spirits slowly die

Sounds of War

Forget the new world order
They try to stand out
Then just kick us down
Wake from our sleeping day
"True patriots never fade away"
We'll fight against injustice
Open our eyes and see the truth
They invade, damage, occupy
This habit they don't understand
The messages that they send
Of invade, damage, occupy
A dishonourable discharge
Sometimes we find ourselves
Locked inside the mind for years
Blood spilling out over the Americas
Its never any easier
We'll fight against injustice
Open our eyes and see the truth
They invade, damage, occupy
This habit they don't understand
The messages that they send
Of invade, damage, occupy
The screams tear through us
Our minds never the same
The sounds of war
The screams the screams
The screams tear through us
The screams the screams

Smokey used to be in this band called Field+Stream, they were pretty epic. down right inspired me to start playing live back in 2005 or so. This could be the best $5 you spend today.
