what am i still doing here

You’re keeping in step in the line
got your chin held high & you feel just fine
cause you do what you’re told

Just how deep do you believe?
will you bite the hand that feeds?
will you chew until it bleeds?
can you get up off your knees?
are you brave enough to see?
do you want to change it?

What if this whole crusade’s a charade
& behind it all there’s a price to be paid
for the blood on which we dine
justified in the name of the holy & the divine

Just how deep do you believe?
will you bite the hand that feeds?
will you chew until it bleeds?
can you get up off your knees?
are you brave enough to see?
do you want to change it?

So naïve
I keep holding on to what I want to believe
I can see
but I keep holding on & on & on & on

will you bite the hand that feeds you?
will you stay down on your knees?
