00:05:30 - Ah, my hands are tied
00:05:37 - Billionship from side to side
00:05:40 - And the walls go on with brainwashed pride
00:05:43 - For the love of God and a human right
00:05:47 - And all these things are swept aside
00:05:50 - My bloody head, I'm getting high

00:08:13 - Searching the dark we've followed
00:08:17 - Look at the leaders we've followed
00:08:20 - And look at the lies we've swallowed
00:08:24 - And I don't wanna hear no more
00:08:33 - My hands are dying
00:08:37 - Well all I see and I think in my mind
00:08:40 - But still the ones who wanna see it go by
00:08:44 - With no love I've got all human rights
00:08:48 - And all these treacherous whips decide
00:08:51 - By bloody hands of the hypnotists
00:08:54 - Who carry the crimes of homicide
