Not One Less

City streets and tourniquets
Puppet strings and marionettes
Humanity pays an iron debt
Democracy erodes and in the end you know it's a state run red

Blind me to your cruelty
All your money can't compare

You tell me that my home is not my home
Well I'll sacrifice myself down to the bone
Are we dolls or do we have will of our own?
Do we know who's in control?

Not one less, not one less
My right eye for my protest
Not one less, not one less
Can't suppress what you oppress

Blood across the sky
All for asking why
I am not afraid to die
I'm afraid to live in a world constructed on your lie

Blind me to your cruelty
All your power can't compare

Tell me that my home is not my home
Well I'll sacrifice myself down to the bone
Are we dolls or do we have will of our own?
Do we know who's in control?

Not one less, not one less
My right eye for my protest
Not one less, not one less
Can't suppress what you oppress

They push me down into the dirt
Twist the screw in, make it hurt
Breathing gas and gasoline
I will never be a part of your regime
So I'll push myself through tears
Fly my flag through all my fears
Not one less is what I scream
I will never be a part of your regime

I'm a machine
Left out in the cold
A nuclear winter fuels my soul
I'm a machine
Left out in the cold
A nuclear winter fuels my soul
