Zombie Award Lyrics

The ladder you climbed up was flat on the ground

Your achievements are paltry and hollow

But through the deception and lies, you still found those to follow

You took the salvation you thought we deserved

You gave it a fresh coat of paint

You promised that justice would finally be served and that you were a Saint

We can't undo the heartless decisions that you

Made for the sake of our admiration

We can't afford this perpetual drum beat of war

It's time that we became our own salvation

You fed the corruption by bleeding us dry

You told us that this was the price

You scoffed at the people who dared to ask why this sacrifice

To those who adored you, you never did wrong

But they were already forsaken

They didn't know you'd been at this for so long or what you'd taken

We can't undo the heartless decisions that you

Made for the sake of our admiration

We can't afford this perpetual drum beat of war

It's time that we became our own salvation

My people, let us come together today to mourn the loss of the harmony that once filled the air of this great nation

We used to sing different parts of the same song

Now it seems we can't even agree on the genre

And maybe that's not a bad thing

But we can't tear each other down just because we're marching to our own tunes

That song is out there

One song. One sound

That encompasses who we should strive to be

So let us bend

Let us compromise

Shift a few notes, change the key here and there

No one can do it by themselves

Together is the only way

We can't undo the heartless decisions that you

Made for the sake of our admiration

We can't afford this perpetual drum beat of war

It's time that we became our own salvation
