Cricket! – Scapegoat Lyrics

Folk

You wanna spread the flame
Get the blood off of your name
Live your life and forget all of this shit
Well, we fought this before and we'll fight it once more
Do you really think that you're so innocent?

You think that I'd be sick of this
The ignorance and bliss
That I'd wanna start gouging my eyes
Well, now more than ever, we face it together
It's a blessing and a curse to be alive

Woah, I don't really know
What tomorrow will bring
Will you break the machine
Just to protect your glass moral code?
Woah, I don't wanna know
What you think is the bloat
Rip out each others throats
I don't wanna hear about your new scapegoat

When the fire starts to burn, think of all the things you've learned
Use your brain, 'cause maybe it's just all bad luck
Trust your gut, take the leap
Try to land on your feet
And if you don't, then you get the fuck back up

And there's no time for playing or pissing around
Lick your wounds, then get back to the game
They want you to quit
Call you a hypocrite
And make you forget you know how to rage

Woah, I don't really know
What tomorrow will bring
What this world even means
Why you fake having a moral code
Woah, I don't wanna know
Paralyzed from the smoke
Terrified you'll be choked
I don't wanna hear about your new scapegoat

Eyes burning, dripping, yellow fluid in your lungs
It blackens your throat with the heat of the sun
Signs are dropped as bodies follow
Everyone else threw in the towel

Feet stomping, cracking, as your ears continue ringing
You look to the sky and you see angels singing
Taste the concrete as you reach out your hand
An early death was always the plan

How can I continue the show
If it's a crime to even know
If it's a crime to break the mold
This bloody circle's getting old

Every four fucking years
They spin the wheel of fear
Choose a different country, color, or creed
And they fall for it, so what's the point of the polls?
To pick your favorite conduit of greed?

So much for land of the free
'Cause if you're not like me
You'll be shot and then stripped of your name
I don't wanna go to Mars, or own a self-driving car
I want my friends and family to know they're safe

I believe in the morality of man
And I believe in the greater community
I don't believe that our politicians care
No matter how much you chant their fucking names
I believe that I will help my fellow man
I believe that if he can, he will help me
I don't believe in your false idols or your heirs
No matter how they choose to point the blame
I believe in the morality of man
I believe in the greater community
I don't believe that our politicians care
No matter how much you chant their fucking names
I believe that I will help my fellow man
I believe that if he can, he will help me
I don't believe in your false idols or your heirs
No matter how they choose to point the blame
(Hey!)
