Bloody Hierarchy
Skew Siskin Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We are the creatures they don't wanna show
We are the broken ones they don't wanna know
We are the forgotten ones in so many ways
They set the price, we're built to pay

We are the fools eatin' the dirt in their ground
We explore life, stick to what we've found
We believe in our own religion and we believe in you

Did they ever think that we might not care
First they wanted us, now they wouldn't dare
Hellish rules, no, this game ain't fair
But we're living with this bloody hierarachy
You know it's stupidity

We are the fools in a broken world
We are lost children, unable to speak a word
Born into this life, never had a chance to choose it
And no chance to defend

We are tired of hearing all the excuses
Built up a vision of how it might should be
Denied and disrespected, poor and dejected
Now we're alive, so we got a right to be

Did they ever think that we might not care
First they wanted us, now they wouldn't dare
Hellish rules, no, this game ain't fair




But we're living with this bloody hierarachy
You know it's stupidity
