Final Offense Songtext
A lily white empire built on the backs of stronger men
Mythologies that hide the broken lives and stolen land
This is your first offense
Trading bodies for cash
Three fifths of a man
This is your first offense
Mothers, daughters, sisters, lovers betrayed by their own sons
Used for labor and reward in the battles you have won
It′s your second offense
These are the facts
You had your chance
It's your second offense
You stripped the soul out of the Earth and fouled the bed we share
You filled the sky with cyanide and left us sucking air
For your crimes you will be fined with the only life you care
These are the lessons of Turner, Mother Jones and Robespierre
It′s your final offense
Final offense
Off with their heads
It's your final offense
Mythologies that hide the broken lives and stolen land
This is your first offense
Trading bodies for cash
Three fifths of a man
This is your first offense
Mothers, daughters, sisters, lovers betrayed by their own sons
Used for labor and reward in the battles you have won
It′s your second offense
These are the facts
You had your chance
It's your second offense
You stripped the soul out of the Earth and fouled the bed we share
You filled the sky with cyanide and left us sucking air
For your crimes you will be fined with the only life you care
These are the lessons of Turner, Mother Jones and Robespierre
It′s your final offense
Final offense
Off with their heads
It's your final offense
