lyrics

Stop Playing:

Oh how we are mistaken
Sacred becomes forsaken
You think you’ve beat them at their own game
But isn’t the point to stop playing?

You perpetuate all the wrongs of the system
You choose to participate
Parting with your secrets
Because they will use your power
Unless you decide to stop playing

Because the reality is there are no rules
Unless you choose to listen
They will teach you lessons
With rhetoric soaked in venom

They will convince you that they on your side
Until the first sword is drawn
They have your secrets, they have your power!
And now they have you
Your weapon is blunt and rusted
Theirs’s is shinny and new!
