[ti:Writings on the Wall]
[ar:Parkway Drive]
[al:]
[00:34.57] When you're born in the dirt the only way to grow is up
[00:37.85] So we reach for the sun but it seems
[00:40.87] Every rung that you climb is another crooked line
[00:44.37] That you cross off the tally of your dreams
[00:47.64] Don't step out of line kid, you learn it pretty fast
[00:50.92] Every face has its place in the crowd
[00:54.33] They'll give you all the answers, so you don't ask any questions
[00:58.46] Then they'll march you with a smile into the ground
[01:00.32] And we all go to heaven in a little row boat
[01:03.69] So put your hands up, put your hands up
[01:06.70] If crawling for the scraps won't ever be enough
[01:10.24] Put your hands up, put your hands up
[01:13.09] The writing's on the wall, this ain't ever gonna stop
[01:16.37] Put your hands up, put your hands up
[01:19.64] If crawling for the scraps won't ever be enough
[01:22.81] Put your hands up, put your hands up
[01:26.01] We'll fight until we die, this ain't ever gonna stop
[01:32.19] This stray dog world, this sick sad place
[01:35.40] Got a belly full of maggots and disease
[01:38.36] Every apple here is rotten, every blessing is a curse
[01:41.79] Every word is a lie you best believe
[01:44.79] We take one step forward, then two steps back
[01:48.12] In a race to the bottom of the barrel
[01:51.34] They teach us how to fear
[01:52.87] They teach us how to hate
[01:55.28] Then they arm us and they march us off to hell
[01:57.69] And its left, left, left right left
[02:01.12] So put your hands up, put your hands up
[02:02.22] If crawling for the scraps won't ever be enough
[02:03.43] Put your hands up, put your hands up
[02:05.73] The writing's on the wall, this ain't ever gonna stop
[02:07.85] Put your hands up, put your hands up
[02:10.66] If crawling for the scraps won't ever be enough
[02:11.96] Put your hands up, put your hands up
[02:12.82] We'll fight until we die, this ain't ever gonna stop
[02:23.24] Because they came for our minds
[02:41.39] We said nothing
[02:58.93] They came for our hopes
[03:02.92] We said nothing
[03:03.87] They came for our souls
[03:05.51] And still we said nothing
[03:06.52] Now they're coming for our lives
[03:16.19] So what's it gonna take
[03:18.26] What's it gonna take
[03:18.96] See how they run, see how they run
[03:20.61] So put your hands up, put your hands up
[03:23.75] If clawing for the scraps won't ever be enough
[03:27.01] Put your hands up, put your hands up
[03:30.18] The writing's on the wall, this ain't ever gonna stop
[03:33.50] Put your hands up, put your hands up
[03:36.57] If clawing for the scraps won't ever be enough
[03:39.89] Put your hands up, put your hands up
[03:43.00] We'll fight until we die, this ain't ever gonna stop
