Atlas Drowned

Lyrics

I'm not leaving tonight
 Cram the armour and chains where the sun will not shine
 And who's to say they won't bitch out and shoot me on sight?
 Get that thing out my face
 I don't care what it says, this is my goddamned place
 A traitor to country and glad, 'cause my country's disgraced
 ♪
 I'm not bleeding tonight
 In the shadow of truncheons with smoke in my eyes
 You will close in on madness and madness is not civilised
 There's no reason now
 I'm not dumb and you people can't dick me around
 And the whole institution is rigged and the ship's going down
 
 I'm cool to let Atlas drown
 Galt, you can shake
 You can cry, you can quake
 You can rot in your sleep
 You can shrug, you can weep
 And I'll watch as you bleed
 ♪
 Hey, you jackbooted sheep with your elephant caps
 I have come for my shit and I won't take less than that
 Why believe you are full
 When you still get your meals from the trash?
 To you bells in the curve
 I will love you but love not the powers you serve
 Do not grow complacent and take less than what you deserve
 ♪
 I'm cool to watch Atlas burn
 Galt, you can shake
 You can cry, you can quake
 You can rot in your sleep
 You can shrug, you can weep
 And I'll watch Atlas bleed
 And we'll laugh as he shakes
 And we'll go off and breed
 
 And we'll spit on his grave
 ♪
 In the heart of redemption, there's some furious song
 And the herd is no place for the brave and the strong
 But I bear no contempt for the ones who just want to belong
 And these chosen whites are anaemic and small
 And are truly the lowliest sheep of them all
 And their eminence is fixed upon things we could burn in one go
 I'mma let Atlas fall
 ♪
 I'mma watch Atlas fall
