Differences
Unwritten Law Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

A non inclusive ruling class
Try and cover up the facts
They orchestrate their twisted lies
And buy their alibis
I find it strange the same
There's always someone else to blame
We watch the clock go ticking by
And now we wonder why

Let's get away
Can't take this place
It won't be long before you see me break

Divide and conquered we
Sit and wait so patiently
Never knowing what's in store
Try not to ask for more
So many time's we're seen
Their past mistakes resurfaing
They never seem to have the proof
That qualifies for truth

Let's get away
Can't take this place
It won't be long before you see me break
Let's get away
Can't take this place
Can't see the beauty through this human waste
Human waste

The time has yet to come
For the living proof of everyone
To think about our troubled lives
The truth the answer why
Pretend we're all the same
There's nothing left to fade away
Except the stupid games we play

And I want to believe there's nothin' wrong with me




I gotta believe there's nothin' wrong with me
This wasn't just a dream
