Текст с Bandcamp’a:
“I just don’t get it, never really did understand,
Never really played the cards that that were dealt in my hand.
Some call me a fool, ‘cuz I question everything,
Dirty wars, closed doors, corporate science, corrupt alliance,
Need I say more?
Shades of gray, murky water we’re treading in,
Gone astray of who we shoulda been.
But when I raise my GLASS, know what it stands for.
Drinking away the grind of the day, a toast for a little bit more.
And when I raise my FLAG, know what it stands for.
Loyal friends where no border ends, no one keeping score.
And when I raise my FIST, know what it stands for.
I’ll fight until the bitter end with justice at its core.
When I raise my VOICE. Know what it stands for.
Echoing words like pushing reverb of the millions who’ve come before.
I just don’t get it, never did understand, like veneer on wood, so pure and good, like houses built on sand.
Some call me a fool ‘cuz I question everything
Mass media on speed dial, heroes in exile, facts don’t mean a thing.
Shades of gray, murky waters we’re treading in.
Gone astray of who we shoulda been.
CHORUS
