Rise Against Lyrics

"A Gentlemen's Coup" lyrics


the pain, disorder
a cataclysmic dawn
we trusted but something has gone wrong
we bought in
but woke to find it gone
impact in 5-4-3-2….

Brace for fallout
The radiation creeps
On cat's feet
We scatter in the streets
She asked me
"Do you think it's safe to breathe?"
It doesn't look that way to me

We stormed the gates
And raised new flags
But it's just the same old story
We seized the throne
Subjugate
We should have burned it to the ground
Woah...
Some might say we've lost our way
But I believe we've not gone far enough

Afraid we cower
To interests not our own
The power to free or to control
We let it slip through
Our fingers to the floor
Watch as the bodies wash ashore
Woah...
Nobody lives here anymore

We stormed the gates
And raised new flags
But it's just the same old story
We seized the throne
Subjugate
We should have burned it to the ground
Woah...
Some might say we've lost our way
But I believe we've not gone far enough

And how long will we fall for this?
And how long will we fall for this?
How long will we fall for this?
And how long will we fall?

And how long will we fall for this?
And how long will we fall for this?
And how long will we fall for this?
How long, how...?

We stormed the gates
And raised new flags
But it's just the same old story
We seized the throne
Subjugate
We should have burned it to the ground
Woah...
Some might say we've lost our way
But I believe we've not gone far enough
