Welcome To Our New War Lyrics
we fall to our knees raise our hands toward the sky
bow to the powerful without asking why we fill our glass with -
a false sense of pride the ruling class has forced us all to demand what they supply
welcome to our new war
where the rich sell their lies to the poor
we're dying but we don't know what for
welcome to our new war
in a troubled time - in an age of fear
we place our trust - in the insincere
as the waiting minds - are misinformed
the ones in charge - are just adding to the score
the war profiteers watch as their numbers rise
their private contracts push profits through the sky the rest will struggle -
just to survive while special interest goes to those with the highest dollar sign
welcome to our new war
where the rich sell their lies to the poor
we're dying but we don't know what for
welcome to our new war
is this the price that we pay -
for living with our -
eyes closed and backs against the wall at the top of the hill -
where the powerful thrive there's a strong disregard -
for this human life when the wins start to change
and the meek crowd the floor the sirens will sound
and at last they will scream no more no more - no more - no more
the power elite wears the thickest disguise
setting the rules as the classes divide they keep their heartless -
eyes on the prize and leave the masses with a lifetime of poverty and crime
welcome to our new war
where the rich sell their lies to the poor
we're dying but we don't know what for
welcome to our new war
bow to the powerful without asking why we fill our glass with -
a false sense of pride the ruling class has forced us all to demand what they supply
where the rich sell their lies to the poor
we're dying but we don't know what for
welcome to our new war
we place our trust - in the insincere
as the waiting minds - are misinformed
the ones in charge - are just adding to the score
their private contracts push profits through the sky the rest will struggle -
just to survive while special interest goes to those with the highest dollar sign
where the rich sell their lies to the poor
we're dying but we don't know what for
welcome to our new war
for living with our -
eyes closed and backs against the wall at the top of the hill -
where the powerful thrive there's a strong disregard -
for this human life when the wins start to change
and the meek crowd the floor the sirens will sound
and at last they will scream no more no more - no more - no more
setting the rules as the classes divide they keep their heartless -
eyes on the prize and leave the masses with a lifetime of poverty and crime
where the rich sell their lies to the poor
we're dying but we don't know what for
welcome to our new war

This song touches on such a broad yet serious topic. The gist is political obviously. "The rich sell their lies to the poor" this makes it rather straight forward. I love this song personally and it's one of the bests off the black swan. Deep song, hard riff.
just bought the new album. this song is good stuff.
This song is great! The lyrics are great and the chorus.. Yummy! Keep it up Story of the year!
