Cosa Nostra by The Greatest Virtue Lyrics
The wolves are clawing, clawing at your door
Coming to silence your much-needed gospel
The repo men of the alley, threatened by your words
They’ll make you swallow your tongue to avoid confession
They’ll present you with anything
(To keep your mouth shut)
The masses enslaved, to believe what’s in the news
Programs handled with uncompromising bias
“Our concern is for the citizens”
That should be revised to serve your own advantage
(Keeping their cover intact is the highest goal)
They disguise their self-serving as serving the masses
Generosity: the mask of narcissism
We claim to have freedoms, a God-given right
But the land of the free is a mockery
The wolves are clawing, clawing at your door
Coming to silence your much-needed gospel
They’ll present you with anything
(To keep your mouth shut)
The masses enslaved, to believe what’s in the news
Programs handled with uncompromising bias
“Our concern is for the citizens”
That should be revised to serve your own advantage
(Anything to keep them mighty in public eye.)
Put in the vein of doing what’s right
The greater good is just not good enough
One false move means curtains for us
Locked behind bars, unconstitutional
Of the people
By the people
For the people
We’re not equal
This is not what our founding fathers dreamt of
Coming to silence your much-needed gospel
The repo men of the alley, threatened by your words
They’ll make you swallow your tongue to avoid confession
They’ll present you with anything
(To keep your mouth shut)
The masses enslaved, to believe what’s in the news
Programs handled with uncompromising bias
“Our concern is for the citizens”
That should be revised to serve your own advantage
(Keeping their cover intact is the highest goal)
They disguise their self-serving as serving the masses
Generosity: the mask of narcissism
We claim to have freedoms, a God-given right
But the land of the free is a mockery
The wolves are clawing, clawing at your door
Coming to silence your much-needed gospel
They’ll present you with anything
(To keep your mouth shut)
The masses enslaved, to believe what’s in the news
Programs handled with uncompromising bias
“Our concern is for the citizens”
That should be revised to serve your own advantage
(Anything to keep them mighty in public eye.)
Put in the vein of doing what’s right
The greater good is just not good enough
One false move means curtains for us
Locked behind bars, unconstitutional
Of the people
By the people
For the people
We’re not equal
This is not what our founding fathers dreamt of
