Drastic - The Loved Ones

So what once seemed so drastic is now commonplace

And they’re driving machines down the lines on our face

There’s no shame there’s no mercy not even a trace

With our bombs and our pills we think we’ve made things safe

Maybe we’d be better off with our heads in the sand

And they’d leave us to drown here according to plan

But if this ships going down you’ll find me with the band

Because they’ve pushed us all right to the edge

And we’re on the brink

And they’ve pushed us all right to the edge

They’re claiming the answer is kill or be killed

While we’re dying of cancer and paying our bills

We just drown in this quagmire of what we’ve been told

While they’re cashing the checks on the faith that we sold

They’ve got no allegiance to pledge

They’ve left us out here on this ledge
