lyrics

Feeding from the bottle
Seems to be the cure
Soak us in holy water
So that we feel pure
They've got their sights
pointed at our head
Try to shut us up
Wishing we were all dead

Kick back the tear gas
Knock the man on his ass
Say a prayer for his kids
While I rip off his mask
Kick back the tear gas
Knock the man on his ass
Say a prayer for his kids
While I rip off his mask

The rage, the anger,
The fury, the fire
The chaos that makes me
Fulfill this desire
The system that's broken
That's built on oppression
The man in black
controlling the message

Kick back the tear gas
Knock the man on his ass
Say a prayer for his kids
While I rip off his mask
Kick back the tear gas
Knock the man on his ass
Say a prayer for his kids
While I rip off his mask

Kick back the tear gas
Knock the man on his ass
Say a prayer for his kids
While I rip off his mask
Kick back the tear gas
Knock the man on his ass
Say a prayer for his kids
While I rip off his mask

(Did you, could you hear the vocal effect?)
