Mosh for Jesus
Dillinger Four Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To take this shithole by the fucking throat
And then it's on our hands
And that's how the new world began
A passing phase of quiet indignation
A molotov to start the conflagration
'Til we've lost our voice,
And when a penny for your treason
Is worth a thousand more of hollow freedom
The world is feeling twice as cold today
And there's no more disguising this decay
All this shit
I gotta believe it was an accident, a random chance
Ignorance, intolerance abounding
How could this be a part of any greater plan?
A new discussion of an age-old question
An age-old method of towards a new direction
When the going's tough
We'll bite the hand that feeds
Break the fist that abuses
Be the voice of truth in a world so truthless
And juvenile
A stab in the back with a smile
A penny for your treason
Is worth a thousand more of hollow freedom
The world is feeling twice as cold today
And there's no more disguising this decay
All this shit
I gotta believe it was an accident, a random chance
Ignorance, intolerance abounding
How could this be a part of any greater plan?
The world is feeling twice as cold today
And there's no more disguising this decay
All this shit
I gotta believe it was an accident, a random chance
Ignorance, intolerance abounding
How could this be a part of any greater plan?

A vague expression and a silent motive
Our intent is unclear at the moment
To take this shithole by the fucking throat
To grab hold of and change this bad situation
And then it's on our hands
We're taking responsibility for the outcome
And that's how the new world began
This is the beginning of a new start
A passing phase of quiet indignation
We're angry but not shouting it out
A molotov to start the conflagration
We'll do something to start the change
'Til we've lost our voice,
We'll keep making noise until we're heard
We'll make a joyful noise
We'll make noise that's full of life
And when a penny for your treason
When your actions leave you with little value
Is worth a thousand more of hollow freedom
Hollow liberty is costly
The world is feeling twice as cold today
It's a very tough world right now
And there's no more disguising this decay
We can't hide the negative effects
All this shit
Everything that's going on right now
I gotta believe it was an accident, a random chance
I can't believe this was intentional
Ignorance, intolerance abounding
People are acting without understanding or caring for one another
How could this be a part of any greater plan?
Is this really what we want for the greater good?
A new discussion of an age-old question
We're talking about something that has been a question for a long time
An age-old method of towards a new direction
We're using an old method to change things in a new way
When the going's tough
When things get difficult
We'll bite the hand that feeds
We'll take down those in power
Break the fist that abuses
Stop those who use power for harm
Be the voice of truth in a world so truthless
We'll speak out for what we believe is right
And juvenile
And the world seems immature and childish
A stab in the back with a smile
Deceitful actions disguised as something friendly
The world is feeling twice as cold today
It's a very tough world right now
And there's no more disguising this decay
We can't hide the negative effects
All this shit
Everything that's going on right now
I gotta believe it was an accident, a random chance
I can't believe this was intentional
Ignorance, intolerance abounding
People are acting without understanding or caring for one another
How could this be a part of any greater plan?
Is this really what we want for the greater good?
