Patriots by The Magic Lantern Lyrics

I'm told that I’m lazy
And I ought to be working
But the saints march like soldiers
Always staring at the ground
Always staring at the ground

But the ground
Don't interest me
I'm a man
I was born to be free

With every new step you move further away
And you tell yourself, you’ll be yourself
After pay day
But before you're broken you're fragile like a lake
And as you're eyes fight the shimmering light
Your face begins to brake

And it dissolves at the faintest touch
The ripples of the question don't count for much
Cos' the boat that holds the problem can't be rocked enough
We'll need a storm of stones to groan and make the waters rough
Go build your towers
Tumbling through the sky
The bees all die early
But the honey will survive
Year the honey will survive

So sweet
You fight to get your feed
And now you’re done
Perhaps you’ll die of greed

So come on patriots
Come and burn a flag for me
In the ashes you'll find
What you’re pride hides behind
The myth of an honest country

So come on patriots
Come and burn a flag for me
In the ashes you'll find
What you're pride hides behind
The myth of an honest country
