Re-Education (Through Labor)
To the sound of a heartbeat pounding awayTo the rhythm of the awful rusted machinesWe toss and turn but don't sleepEach breath we take makes us thievesLike causes without rebelsJust talk but promise nothing else
We crawl on our knees for youUnder a sky no longer blueWe sweat all day long for youBut we sow seeds to see us through'Cause sometimes dreams just don't come trueWe wait to reap what we are due
To the rhythm of a time bomb ticking awayAnd the blare of the sirens combing the streetsChased down like dogs we run fromYour grasp until the sun comes up
We crawl on our knees for youUnder a sky no longer blueWe sweat all day long for youBut we sow seeds to see us through'Cause sometimes dreams just don't come trueLook now at what they've done to you
White needles buried in the redThe engine roars and then it givesBut never dies'Cause we don't liveWe just surviveOn the scraps that you throw away
I won't crawl on my knees for youI won't believe the lies that hide the truthI won't sweat one more drop for you'Cause we are the rust upon your gearsWe are the insect in your earsWe crawlWe crawlWe crawl... all over you
We sow the seeds to see us throughOur days are precious and so fewWe all reap what we are dueUnder this sky no longer blueWe bring the dawn long over-dueWe crawlWe crawlWe crawl... all over you
