Retaliate Lyrics - Singles - Misery Index

Crawling from the cities the filth chokes me to the taste, 

Feeding the desire to destroy this culture that I hate 

The daily inquisition, the fear that fuels our lives 

Sets each man against the other with the wool upon their eyes 

Chains of command, the weight of wait 

Under their wheels into concrete 

Face off the floor, rise up, retaliate 

The razor blade infections cut caverns deep across my skin 

Reminding me of battles I have lost and will never win 

There are no bullets here, these hands are clenched in fists 

And the promise of another day is all that we have left 

What remains here? 

Bowing to the dollar in their selfish church of capital, 

Where wealth encrusts their bodies, yet cancer fills their hearts? 

Brother will kill brother in this stained-glass abattoir called 'Earth'
