Anger
Kill Switch... Klick Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When you and yours put the gun to my head
They told us integrity's dead
The false intentions were inbred
Bloody and bleeding, you should be dead
But still don't care who else has bled
A love you bribed with words you said
A loving skin assassins shed
Some will lose and some will gain
Some grow fat on others' pain
The thin belts tighten under the strain
From the greedy grips of hunger's reign
Take and take a habit crime
Inject the mass in drugged pantomime
A play on truth, a paradigm
Of those that lie most all the time
Anger, we feel
So tell me how it's supposed to be
As you fuck them and you fuck me
You bought the law but you can't buy me
You'll pay the price, just wait and see
So pass the buck and take a poll
Dig the grave and fill the hole
All that you have is all that you stole
At any cost, you want control
Now tell me what they said
When you and yours put the gun to my head
My hands are cuffed, my legs are spread
I've been abused, but I can't be led
With Satan smiling from your bed
Your hands in blood, the sheets splattered red
Tell me when enough have bled
Tell me when your greed is fed
Anger, we feel
The song "Anger" by Kill Switch... Klick speaks of the corruption and greed that exists in society, where those in power exploit and manipulate others for their own benefit. The lyrics suggest that integrity is no longer valued by those in charge, and that they will use any means necessary to maintain their hold on power.

The message is clear: those who abuse their power will eventually pay the price for their actions.
Overall, "Anger" is a song that speaks to the frustration and rage that many people feel towards a system that seems rigged against them. The lyrics emphasize the importance of integrity and truth, and highlight the harm that can be caused when those in power act solely out of self-interest.
