lyrics

So relentless with your clenched fist -
All the anger that blinds you to light.
Do your hands shake?
Does your head ache?
Does the world give you a fright?

Count all your chickens, oh yeah.
And load up your gun.
Better gather that mistrust for everyone.
And those who will disagree, well,
Best you cut out their tongue.
The boogeyman is coming to get you
And everything you love.

You grow manic from semantics.
Common ground just wanes in the spite.
But, oh, such rage is so contagious,
The only response is fight or flight.

Count all your chickens, oh yeah.
And load up your gun.
Better gather that mistrust for everyone.
And those who will disagree, well,
Best you cut out their tongue.
The boogeyman is coming to get you
And everything you love.

Oh, you're apt to lose your minds.
It's gonna find you.
And it won't take you alive....
