In Through the Out Door
[Verse 1]
They're at the fences
They're at the border
Your brand new gospel -
Deny them any quarter
You'll want a blockade
You'll draw your swords
God save your sovereignty
From syndicated crime-lords
Completely righteous
Save a little slandering
God blessed your district -
With lies and gerrymandering
This revolution will not be televised
Unless ethics can suddenly be advertised
[Chorus]
Sibilance
Mic check for the deviants
Why is grace now civil disobedience?
Lights on
Mercy for an encore
They're coming in
In through the out door
[Verse 2]
To all the hungry
You locked the doors
You sunk the thirsty
Before their boats could make the shores
To every stranger
You closed the gates
Your new gospel:
Spitting venom
Black with hate
You sold them out
Saying "Anything for sponsorships" -
A self-imposed, Orwellian, apocalypse
Your new god
He loves blind conformity
So pledge allegiance
And wave your flags in uniformity
[Chorus]
Sibilance
Mic check for the deviants
Why is grace now civil disobedience?
Lights on
Mercy for an encore
They're coming in
In through the out door
Sibilance
Mic check for the deviants
Why is grace now civil disobedience?
Lights on
Mercy for an encore
They're coming in
In through the out door
[Interlude]
Hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey
Hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey
[Bridge]
You were once a stranger on this soil
Serpents at your heart, will they not uncoil?
Brother's at the door - bless the poor in spirit
Your sister's in a cage - but you do not fear it
[Chorus]
Sibilance
Mic check for the deviants
Why is grace now civil disobedience?
Lights on
Mercy for an encore
They're coming in
In through the out door
Sibilance
Mic check for the deviants
Why is grace now civil disobedience?
Lights on
Mercy for an encore
They're coming in
In through the out door
