The New Hell by The Famine Lyrics

Genre: pop | Year: 2011

"All quiet on the set. Now, put your heads back in to the sand
And wait to hear your name called."
The piss-poor defense of an army of yes men
Force-fed a diet born of textual corruption

Oh, the horror!
A grim thing to behold
Hanging by our
Necks from the Bible Belt
Let the words read:
"We bit the hand that feeds."
Oh, the horror!
We did this to ourselves

So, in our scramble to avoid being the nail
That is sticking out the most
We seem to have left just a few things behind
Our sense of decency, some pieces of James Byrd
No matter what, don't look them in the eyes

Oh, the horror!
A grim thing to behold
Hanging by our
Necks from the Bible Belt
Let the words read:
"We bit the hand that feeds."
Oh, the horror!
We did this to ourselves
This is the new hell
This is the new hell
This is the new hell
This is the new hell

(This is the new hell)
This is the new hell
(This is the new hell)
This is the new hell

(This is the new hell)
This is the new hell
(This is the new hell)
This is the new hell

"How very much I've loved you
How very much I've tried my best to give you the good life
But in spite of all of that I've tried
Aa handful of our people, with their lies
Have made our life impossible."
