In The Fingernails

(album: Exit English - 2003)

There's a new war starting in the world today
To halve the have-nots while we look away
The game of empire's pawns we fall right through the chessboard
I will not fall for the black and white
Armed with no options we're ghosts in the fight
I won't pull the trigger on the world for you underground

In ever city eye to eye whoa whoa
Defined by our choices not where we divide
In every city ear to ear whoa whoa
I hear the echoes of another way every living day
And I know that I am not alone

Inside I know the fault lies with us
Too guarded to contact too frightened to trust
Someone's heroes are someone's terrorists
Watch the elites fall over themselves
To squeeze blood from a stone
I won't sell out my reasoning and I know that I am not alone

In every city eye to eye whoa whoa
Defined by our choices not where we divide
Underground in every city ear to ear whoa whoa
I hear the echoes of another way ever living day
And I know that I am not alone

I hear the echoes

And I will not fall for the black and white
Armed with no options we're ghosts in the fight
I won't pull the trigger on the world for you
You
