Strike Anywhere - Antidote lyrics

To sleep with anger every day And put your prayers in someone's mouth I watch you struggle with your own antidote Then you spit it out, spit it out And I can't breathe while I watch you Sell yourself into the world You try to steal my life Now k** the hatred with a new sound Put a new voice in a dry mouth Breaking the prison inside We're running riot now Now k** the hatred with a new sound Put a new voice in a dry mouth While we bide our time Afraid, we wait or overthrow Overthrow, overthrow Things we were taught, a stain hard to remove Beauty in our makeup, peace in a gun Pushing our souls in resistance to prove One of these colors doesn't bleed and run Things we were taught, a stain hard to remove Beauty in our makeup, peace in a gun Pushing our souls in resistance to prove One of these colors doesn't bleed and run It's the war inside of us all Poverty is the biggest, strongest jail That the government ever built So we go paralyzed By the lie of socialized violence And while American culture seeds Stagnation with its guilt Society is the lie we define with our silence Now k** the hatred with a new sound Put a new voice in a dry mouth Breaking the prison inside We're running riot now Now k** the hatred with a new sound Put a new voice in a dry mouth While we bide our time Afraid, we wait or overthrow And while American culture seeds Stagnation with its guilt Society is the lie we define We define with our silence With our silence With our silence With our silence A living thing Resounding one lesson Forever, always
