Reason Is Treason (Jacknife Lee Mix) Lyrics
See the stones coming at my window
Ever since then, I've not been conscious
To all the chains of dirt passed onto me
Rubicon, it's almost over
Rubicon has come so close to me
Tell them back home we'll start the fire
They're all part of the big machine now
Check the angles from both forces
Overcome by the need to fight it
Fight it, fight it, fight it, fight it
Here come the morning that I say goodbye to you
Here come the morning that I say goodbye
But I don't turn around 'cause the reason is treason
See the stones coming at my window
See the left man, no protection
Tell his family that he will be ok
K I L L!
Turn away from the selfish silence
You can't face your country using you
Check the angles from both forces
Overcome by the need to fight it
Fight it, fight it, fight it, fight it
Here come the morning that I say goodbye to you
Here come the morning that I say goodbye
But I don't turn around 'cause the reason is treason
Here come the morning that I say goodbye to you
Here come the morning that I say goodbye
But I don't turn around 'cause the reason is treason
Here come the morning that I say goodbye to you
Here come the morning that I say goodbye
But I don't turn around 'cause the reason is treason
Ever since then, I've not been conscious
To all the chains of dirt passed onto me
Rubicon has come so close to me
They're all part of the big machine now
Check the angles from both forces
Overcome by the need to fight it
Fight it, fight it, fight it, fight it
Here come the morning that I say goodbye
But I don't turn around 'cause the reason is treason
See the left man, no protection
Tell his family that he will be ok
K I L L!
Turn away from the selfish silence
You can't face your country using you
Overcome by the need to fight it
Fight it, fight it, fight it, fight it
Here come the morning that I say goodbye
But I don't turn around 'cause the reason is treason
Here come the morning that I say goodbye to you
Here come the morning that I say goodbye
But I don't turn around 'cause the reason is treason
Here come the morning that I say goodbye to you
Here come the morning that I say goodbye
But I don't turn around 'cause the reason is treason

This song is angry, "Fight it, Fight it". It seems deeply subversive to me. - You can't face the fact that your country is using you! - But he won't quite express why he feels the need to rebel and rage against the establishment, for do do so would be treasonous. But isn't that reason enough?
These lyrics are all wrong. First off, these lyrics are closer to the album mix. The Jackknife Lee version is much different. Even as album mix lyrics, they are off though.
