Chaos
prosector Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Break me down and bend me over
Drink me up but fuck me sober
Society feels more like captivity
Curtain drawn back for more bars to see

Am I sick of the same old shit?
I can't just stand in line, to pay the fine
When my only mind is to burn it down

Yeah

To be simple; mob mentalities don't create smart people
Just complacency
"I think like you, so you must think like me"
Fuck your dreams
Grow up in this box we set aside for you
Fuck your loving ways
Replace them all with hate

Or listen to your inner truth
Discard your masters of the uncouth

False gods have had their time in the booth
The bell has rung
Injustice be undone

Hang them at the gates
Place chaos in their place
I choose, I choose, I choose chaos

I choose chaos over guaranteed
Exploitation of our nation
