Road to Ruin Lyrics

The boot above you keeps you on the ground

And has you convinced your neighbor’s holding you down

So when you see them bleed

You’ll say it’s for the best

If only to convince yourself that you won’t be next

For everything you’ve given them

Know it will never save you

No matter what you tell yourself

They were never with you

So they cannot betray you now

Despite what you’re told

When the walls are closing in

You know you don’t have to pull

The road to ruin’s getting closer everyday

And you keep screaming that you know the way

We’ve been here before

And we’ve seen where it leads

Poking every wound and making sure that it bleeds

And as it runs through the streets it oils up the machine

That’s eating our young to shit American dreams

What made you like this?

What froze your heart?

Why would you hold something together

When its built to tear you apart?

Look in the mirror at what you’ve become

And ask your reflection if you’re fucking nazi scum

Right on the wrong side of history

But destined to be last

Cause there has to be a future to remember the past

Despite what you’re told

When the walls are closing in

You know you don’t have to pull

The road to ruin’s getting closer everyday

And you keep screaming that you know the way

You can make a choice

You don’t have to stand by

You can fix yourself

Or you can fuck off and...
