Conspire - Thousand Oaks lyrics

These reasons, they aren't so deep These seasons, they're changing, they're changing me Cause truth be told, the money speaks But this great divide is nothing that love can't breach But what's it matter to me? Have I lost sight of a college degree? An abstract noun doesn't set me free It only binds the bondage of war that apparently only I can see Only I, only I, only I, only I can see Only I, only I, only I, only I can see The right say I'm wrong, I've got no clue Everything I've been taught, I thought it points to you But I steered myself around and around, and around, and around We abuse your name Just like a lover that can only feel their own pain, pain, pain You get used to getting used We abuse your name We abuse your name Yeah The uniforms need stitches, the plane tickets need printed The missiles, computer systems, the targets investigated Tuition gets more expensive, the churches need more donations The system is all-inclusive, you're nothing if you escape it Slip through the cracks to God knows where God knows, God knows, God knows where Slip through the cracks to God knows where God knows, God knows, God knows where So how's it come to be the church and the army got so intertwined? You praise us all for ending up face down in the dirt And scorn us if we ask why The right say I'm wrong, I've got no clue Everything I've been taught, I thought it points to you Now I don't even know who you are But at least we have something in common The military needed both of us to change who we are In support of the occupation We abuse your name Just like a lover that can only feel their own pain, pain, pain You get used to getting used We abuse your name We abuse your name I got out, I got out, I got out I got out while I could I got out, I got out, I got out I got out I got out, I got out, I got out I got out while I could I got out, I got out, I got out I got out
