Текст песни The Northern - Counterfeit

Оригинальный текст песни Counterfeit

Fighting a world that never gave a damn

Spit on the weak, they’ll kick us while we’re down

Medicated until our brains go numb

Spoon fed, brain dead.

We’ve lost all self-control

Programmed to hate, fuelled by greed,

Inflicting pain.

We choose to cheat, lie, and beat.

Steal from the poor, there’s nothing to spare.

Please sir, may I have some more?

Locked in one dimensional perceptions

How does that make you feel?

Validated? Pissed off? Indifferent?

Disappointed...

Disappointment feeds anxiety.

So run away, run away for our lives

Objectifying the world around us

Single-minded and dumbfounded

We choose to suffer.

Depleting energies.

Failure to communicate.

We choose to suffer by burying our heads in the sand.

Why’re you always running away

Cause it won’t solve a thing

Why’re you always running away?

Letting fear lead blindly

Pick your poison carefully

Cause your anger won’t subside that way

Why’re you always running away?

Away from me.

Choking on the dirt we swallow.

It’s hard to breathe.

Buried above our shoulders

Is it too late to dig ourselves out

Choking on the thoughts we dwell on

I can’t see, my eyes are soiled

Choking on the dirt we’ve swallowed

It’s getting harder to breathe

Burn the candle at both ends of the day

Break our legs for minimal pay

Blackened lungs at the cost of what?

We’re the nameless, faceless,

We’ve lost all control.

Lost in a maze, feeling like rats in a cage

We chose to cheat, lie and beat.

Steal from the poor, there’s nothing to spare.

Please sir, may we have some more.

We’ve built these walls,

We can break them down.

From this self-made prison,

We insist to be locked up with a door that’s wide open.
