| [00:09.00] | Just because you don’t speak the language |
| [00:13.17] | Doesn’t mean that you can’t understand |
| [00:17.57] | Just because you don’t speak the language |
| [00:22.32] | Doesn’t mean that you can’t understand |
| [00:26.64] | The twist in the script of the insult |
| [00:31.27] | Scrawled on the back of your hand |
| [00:35.73] | Torn from the pages of scripture |
| [00:40.38] | Sprayed on the wall in the frays of a flag |
| [00:45.03] | Kisses forbidden on lips |
| [00:49.23] | And all of your fine clothes worn into rags |
| [00:54.16] | Tripwire, tripwire, tripwire, tripwire |
| [01:02.86] | There’s a tripwire |
| [01:05.38] | Tripwire, tripwire, tripwire |
| [01:11.88] | Don’t open the door ‘cos they’re coming |
| [01:16.56] | Don’t open the door ‘cos they’re here |
| [01:20.88] | Above there’s an ominous humming |
| [01:25.42] | Below there’s a murmur of prayer |
| [01:30.28] | Torn from the pages of scandal |
| [01:34.40] | Sprayed on a wall in the frays of the flag |
| [01:39.03] | Kisses forbidden on lips |
| [01:43.45] | And all of your fine clothes blown into rags |
| [01:48.09] | Tripwire, tripwire, tripwire, tripwire |
| [01:56.87] | There’s a tripwire |
| [01:59.66] | Tripwire, tripwire, tripwire |
| [02:06.06] | There’s a cross in the line there’s a circus |
| [02:10.43] | There’s a voice that you might overhear |
| [02:14.87] | There’s a lens making the picture perfect |
| [02:19.34] | They say you have nothing to fear |
| [02:23.91] | Torn from the pages of pamphlets |
| [02:28.39] | Thrown in the air like confetti in church |
| [02:33.12] | Far, far away there’s a target |
| [02:37.79] | And the sound of an army just starting to march |
| [02:41.98] | Tripwire, tripwire, tripwire, tripwire |
| [02:50.50] | There’s a tripwire |
| [02:53.36] | Tripwire, tripwire, tripwire |
| [02:59.91] | Just because I don’t read the language |
| [03:04.49] | Doesn’t mean that I'm blind to the threat |
| [03:09.01] | Though I thought there was more to forgiveness |
| [03:13.30] | Than all we conveniently forget |
| [03:17.91] | Torn from the pages of history |
| [03:22.23] | Repeated again and again and again |
| [03:26.81] | You’re either for or against us |
| [03:31.31] | And that is how the hatred begins |
| [03:36.01] | Tripwire, tripwire, tripwire, tripwire |
| [03:44.75] | There’s a tripwire |
| [03:47.10] | Tripwire, tripwire, tripwire... |
| [00:09.00] | Just because you don' t speak the language |
| [00:13.17] | Doesn' t mean that you can' t understand |
| [00:17.57] | Just because you don' t speak the language |
| [00:22.32] | Doesn' t mean that you can' t understand |
