Cover art for A Gentlemen's Coup lyrics by Rise Against

Here's what I got:

The pain, disorder, a cataclysmic dawn We trusted but something has gone wrong We've fallen, awoke to find it gone Effective five, four, three, two

Peace, before us, the radiation creeps We can't sleep, we're scattered in the streets She asked me, "you think it's safe today?" It doesn't look that way to me

We storm the gates, raise the flags Just the same old story We seize the throne, subjugate We should have burnt it to the ground (Storm the gates, raise the flag!) (Seize the throne, subjugate!) Some might say we've lost our way But I believe we've not gone far enough

Afraid, we cower to interests not our own The power to free or to control We let it slip through our fingers to the floor Watch as the ?? to shore Nobody lives here anymore

We storm the gates, raise the flags Just the same old story We seize the throne, subjugate We should have burnt it to the ground (Storm the gates, raise the flag!) (Seize the throne, subjugate!) Some might say we've lost our way But I believe we've not gone far enough

And how long will we fall for this? How long will we fall for this? How long will we fall for this? How long will we fall?

And how long will we fall for this? How long will we fall for this? How long will we fall for this? How long? How long?

We storm the gates, raise the flags Just the same old story We seize the throne, subjugate We should have burnt it to the ground (Storm the gates, raise the flag!) (Seize the throne, subjugate!) Some might say we've lost our way But I believe we've not gone far enough

Watch as the bodies wash to shore*
