Our Time Honoured Tradition Of Cannibalism

Our Time Honoured Tradition Of Cannibalism
From black panthers and the c.i.a.
into a sharp wit with a stupid slag
we've gone and dug our own hole
cause everybody knows
we eat our own
So busy fighting each other
while the real bastards fun for cover
we shoot our own leaders down
before those in power get the chance
so they sit back and laugh
while we destroy ourselves
Wake up and shut up
we've become our worst enemy
We've sold
ourselves
out
Turning inward to our own detriment
forgetting the message that we were to send
We've lost
count up
victims
roll call
They're all our own
look back at what we've done
drove out the wrong side
kicked sand in our own eyes
With every heroes welcome
is another group on the side
ready to fire
if they step out of line
just one mistake
and jealous hands
claw away
any hope for a better way
You bought it forget it goodbye
So saints be on your toes
and heroes be not proud
because as soon as the people rise
someone will tear you down
Wake up and shut up
we've become our worst enemy
