Re-Education

To the sound of a heartbeat pounding away To the rhythm of the awful rusted machines We toss and turn but don't sleep Each breath we take makes us thieves Like causes without rebels Just talk but promise nothing else We crawl on our knees for you Under a sky no longer blue We sweat all day long for you But we sow the seeds to see us through Cause sometimes dreams just don't come true We wait to reap what we are due To the rhythm of a time bomb ticking away And the blare of a siren's combing the streets Chased down like dogs we run from Your grasp until the sun comes up We crawl on our knees for you Under a sky no longer blue We sweat all day long for you But we sow the seeds to see us through Cause sometimes dreams just don't come true Look now at what they've done to you White needles buried in the red The engine roars and then it gives But never dies cause we don't live, we just survive On the scraps that you throw away I won't crawl on my knees for you I won't believe the lies that hide the truth I won't sweat one more drop for you Cause we are the rust upon your gears We are the insect in your ears We crawl, we crawl We crawl all over you! We sow the seeds to see us through Our days are precious and so few We all reap what we are due Under this sky no longer blue We bring a dawn long overdue We crawl, we crawl We crawl all over you!
