lyrics
eins, zwei, drei, vier.
huh, you think you're bad, like a bullet in the chamber,
paper tiger, you're a dog with no bite.
you're a jammed piston, your engine ain't moving,
damned coward, too scared to be right.
the testimony (of the blood in my vains)
the testimony (of the saints)
the testimony (of my heart as it beats)
the testimony, the testimony.
medicate my accusation,
brutalised re-education,
like I'm the biggest bad,
the only dream I've had.
each day it's your opinion,
testament to you dominion,
I'm the martyr, fire starter,
kick it faster, kick it harder.
you know your role, you sold your soul,
for a uniform and gun to hold.
And you know that you'll deny every word.
you worm, you coward, you petty little jackboot.
you bring the meat to market and you butcher the weak.
but we stand, like a nail in your coffin,
seal up the casket to keep in the gas.
cadavarine, that stench you can't forget,
you can wash your hands but you'll never be clean.
tick tock like a god damned trigger,
cop came just to shoot a man.
heart stops like a critical error,
rewind and we start again.
tell the story, claim your glory,
copper medal on an innocent man,
hit the target, social market,
the camera lights give a milk white tan.
huh, you think you're bad, like a bullet in the chamber,
paper tiger, you're a dog with no bite.
you're a jammed piston, your engine ain't moving,
damned coward, too scared to be right.
the testimony (of the blood in my vains)
the testimony (of the saints)
the testimony (of my heart as it beats)
the testimony, the testimony.
medicate my accusation,
brutalised re-education,
like I'm the biggest bad,
the only dream I've had.
each day it's your opinion,
testament to you dominion,
I'm the martyr, fire starter,
kick it faster, kick it harder.
you know your role, you sold your soul,
for a uniform and gun to hold.
And you know that you'll deny every word.
you worm, you coward, you petty little jackboot.
you bring the meat to market and you butcher the weak.
but we stand, like a nail in your coffin,
seal up the casket to keep in the gas.
cadavarine, that stench you can't forget,
you can wash your hands but you'll never be clean.
tick tock like a god damned trigger,
cop came just to shoot a man.
heart stops like a critical error,
rewind and we start again.
tell the story, claim your glory,
copper medal on an innocent man,
hit the target, social market,
the camera lights give a milk white tan.
