Under One Thumb

Lyrical interpretation of oppression.

Our decrepit streets
Skeletal
Crumbling decay
Quiet
Begrudgingly obey
For now

 

Our bloodied feet
Skeletal
Withering away
Fearful
Survive another day

 

We will sing aloud (x2)

 

His fearless troops
Serve and protect
Not human
A mortal defect
Blindly obey
For now
Oh for now

 

We will sing aloud

To the gathered crowd

With the setting sun

Our obedience wears thin

The marching grows

We will stand our ground

We will sing aloud

To the gathered crowds

That we won’t allow

No we won’t allow

That we won’t allow

No we won’t allow

Until our song is

Drowned out

By the bullet sound (x3)
