A Hypocritical Arrogance Lyrics
[Verse 1]
There's a fire and it's spreading like a black plague
And it's come to burn our old traditions all away
Keep your volume up
And keep your head held up
Like a knife gliding softly over shaken hands
Like an episode of Walking Dead or Breaking Bad
Tension's building high
And soon they'll realize
[Chorus]
The day will come when their towers come down, crumbling
To the sound of our footsteps come thundering
From the allies they confined us to dwell within
To kill the virus, we've gotta be the medicine
[Verse 2]
Children camping under bridges they've been sent to live
All for differences in sexual preference
"I didn't raise you this way!
How could you spit in god's face?", while you spit in mine
Hateful bigots, lifes dictated by a simple fear
Of what they might not understand or might not wanna hear
I am who I am
And if you can't understand, then I hope you know
There's a fire and it's spreading like a black plague
And it's come to burn our old traditions all away
Keep your volume up
And keep your head held up
Like a knife gliding softly over shaken hands
Like an episode of Walking Dead or Breaking Bad
Tension's building high
And soon they'll realize
[Chorus]
The day will come when their towers come down, crumbling
To the sound of our footsteps come thundering
From the allies they confined us to dwell within
To kill the virus, we've gotta be the medicine
[Verse 2]
Children camping under bridges they've been sent to live
All for differences in sexual preference
"I didn't raise you this way!
How could you spit in god's face?", while you spit in mine
Hateful bigots, lifes dictated by a simple fear
Of what they might not understand or might not wanna hear
I am who I am
And if you can't understand, then I hope you know
[Chorus]
The day will come when their towers come down, crumbling
To the sound of our footsteps come thundering
From the allies they confined us to dwell within
To kill the virus, we've gotta be the medicine
Oh-oh-oh
[Bridge]
If you believe this is a choice
Surrender to me your voice
I now relinquish your right
To pass judgement, since it's quite
Obvious you do not care
If the evidence is there
You only care for your faith
You're driven by undying hate
[Verse 3]
The fallen angel you believe I'm aligning with
Is the one you're making proud with your arrogance
I was born this way and I will not apologize
You can laugh, mock, hate, disown and beat and criticize
[Chorus]
The day will come when your towers come down, crumbling
To the sound of our footsteps come thundering
From the allies you confined us to dwell within
You're the virus and we are the medicine
The day will come when their towers come down, crumbling
To the sound of our footsteps come thundering
From the allies they confined us to dwell within
To kill the virus, we've gotta be the medicine
Oh-oh-oh
[Bridge]
If you believe this is a choice
Surrender to me your voice
I now relinquish your right
To pass judgement, since it's quite
Obvious you do not care
If the evidence is there
You only care for your faith
You're driven by undying hate
[Verse 3]
The fallen angel you believe I'm aligning with
Is the one you're making proud with your arrogance
I was born this way and I will not apologize
You can laugh, mock, hate, disown and beat and criticize
[Chorus]
The day will come when your towers come down, crumbling
To the sound of our footsteps come thundering
From the allies you confined us to dwell within
You're the virus and we are the medicine
