At Our Expense

(album: All Fall Down - 1998)

We're holding banners and they're holding guns
Keeping our rebellion to a minimum
As we watch them gain behind this barbed wire fence
It's so insane, it's at our expense

And the media distorts the truth
And the media distorts the truth
We never had a choice
We never had a voice

You make decisions that affect us all
You put us in a position that we don't belong
All of our resources have been spent
And it's at our expense
Now you're punching holes in the sky
With Plutonium-powered rockets that fly
To probe what can be reached and suck it dry
(And it's at our expense)

It's at our expense
It's at our expense
It's at our expense

It's at our expense
You know it's at our expense
And it's all at our expense

We're holding banners and they're holding guns
Keeping our rebellion to a minimum
As we watch them gain behind this barbed wire fence
It's so insane, it's at our expense

And the media distorts the truth
And the media distorts the truth
We never had a choice
We never had a voice

You make decisions that affect us all
You put us in a position that we don't belong
All of our resources have been spent
And it's at our expense
Now you're punching holes in the sky
With Plutonium-powered rockets that fly
To probe what can be reached and suck it dry
(And it's at our expense)

It's at our expense
It's at our expense
It's at our expense

It's at our expense
You know it's at our expense
And it's all at our expense
