No Heart
Posted: Wed Apr 16, 2008 8:46 pm
this is a song i finally finished called "No Heart." it took me about 3 months to write, so i'm glad is officially done. it's a very political song (i dont like politics); however, regardless of what some of the lyrics say, please do NOT think that i dislike America, because that's not the case. i love and live in America. this song is supposed to be anti-politics/politicians, not anti-America. comments are appreciated, thanks.
"No Heart"
Verse 1
All of these choices, not one is open-minded
No sense of direction, completely misguided
We're led straight down a crooked line
Destination unknown, all the leaders are blind
Dressed from head to toe, they're the heads of the masquerade
And nothing more than puppets in the parade
It all ends the same so what's the use?
We wanna believe but there's no truth
We feel no pride, nothing but shame
And don't go pointing fingers, we all know who's to blame
Chorus
Cross no heart, believe no soul
Everything is backwards and it's out of their control
Under God they're sworn to protect
With bogus alibis and total disrespect
Every decision, constant error
Nothing is safe in this world of terror
Verse 2
We opened Pandora's Box and all the demons ran amok
If we had kept it locked would we've had better luck?
They see pride in our catastrophe
Is this all a fact or is it just me?
I was burning a flag and the fire turned red
The devil himself appeared and this is what he said
"There was a time when below was the worst place to be,
but America has proven me wrong as far as I can see"
Take a look around and you'll see nothing but misery
That's all that's left after their constant debauchery
(Chorus)
Bridge part 1
I pledge allegiance to the flag, of the Divided States of Embarrassment, and to the confusion for which it stands, one joke under God, undependable, with anxiety and negligence for all
part 2
Same old story all the time
They want our blessing, they won't get mine
Look us in the eyes, fill our heads with lies
A heartbreak of bliss, like our trust's apocalypse
We can't take much more of this
Why do we believe those who just deceive?
Why pray for incline when it's always a descent?
That's why I've always been antiestablishment
Chorus
Cross no heart, believe no soul (They never do their part)
Everything is backwards and it's out of their control (This nation is falling apart)
Under God they're sworn to protect (Ripping at the seams)
With bogus alibis and total disrespect (From all their evil schemes)
Every decision, constant error (Nothing can catch us from the fall)
Nothing is safe in this world of terror (Maybe there's no God after all)
