The World Files for Chapter 11 Songtext
von The Flatliners

(We only) we only take what we need
(If only) if only they could just see these flames are burning green
And the world will end tonight

Try to find hope in a world where trust means dollars
And troubles in the struggle when you′ve got a blue collar
The eyes go blind behind the suits and ties
It's time

Tearing through your pockets, they′re frail and weak already
So look over your shoulders and find something to sell
The money-grubbing liars with their confidence and speed
Are picking at your wallet when you're tryna break free

(We only) we only take what we need
(If only) if only they could just see these flames are burning green
And the world will end tonight, burn, burn
(We only) we only take what we need
(If only) if only they could just see these flames are burning green
And the world will end tonight, burn, burn


The taxes on the public, you sell a lung to cope
We're always cashing in and tapping out until we′re broke
Your life becomes a number, and they′ve got you by the throat
And the flames destroy your last bit of hope
And your wallet feels the dead weight of it all
Waste it, don't waste it, gotta hesitate
And I′ll scream these words from my throat until we're all fucking broke
(They′ve got you by the throat)

(We only) we only take what we need
(If only) if only they could just see these flames are burning green
And the world will end tonight, burn, burn
(We only) we only take what we need
(If only) if only they could just see these flames are burning green
And the world will end tonight, burn, burn

We could watch all this ink melt away
And everything else will go up in flames
There's nothing left of today, of today
And we only take what we need

(We only) we only take what we need
(If only) if only they could just see these flames are burning green
And the world will end tonight
