lyrics

Crown lies heavy on the head of the weak
World all around you turns to dust
Point the finger at the sick and the meek
Its not a game when there is no trust

Corporate smiles and tax dodge files surround you
The clock is ticking, truth running through your hands

You put your head in the sand
Cant you give it up
You put your head in the sand
Time is catching up
The earth collapses around you
All hail to the thief
And still you believe what what you want to believe
You put your head in the sand
Time to shake it up

Bend the issues till the levy breaks
Uncle Sam in your ball & chain
How much more can a nation take
Why can't you stand up & take the blame

Tweeted lies and lackey eyes surround you
The clock is ticking, truth running through your hands

You put your head in the sand
Cant you give it up
You put your head in the sand
Time is catching up
The earth collapses around you
All hail to the thief
And still you believe what what you want to believe
You put your head in the sand
Time to shake it up

Family ties & pinko spies surround you
The clock is ticking, truth running through your hands

You put your head in the sand
Cant you give it up
You put your head in the sand
Time is catching up
The earth collapses around you
All hail to the thief
And still you believe what what you want to believe
You put your head in the sand
Time to shake it up
