Wolf 359 Do you have what it takes? Do you have the X factor? Alter your values to line up with ours Faithfully serve this machine Do what’s expected Silence your conscience Pledge your allegiance The adequate drone Faithfully serve this machine 359 I can no longer dismiss 359 This pulse in my head 359 The circuitry mounts 359 The takeover has begun Do you have the game changer, the paradigm shift? Are you thinking outside of the box? Do you have enough bandwidth to leverage resources To complete your directives on time? TOEING THE LINE, REPEAT WHAT YOU’RE TOLD It’s mission critical Keep it in black, never the red Monetize, incentivize MOVE THE NEEDLE Core competency equals core mediocrity Extract the max across the piece A buy-in to their monotony 359 I cannot dismiss 359 This pulse in my head 359 Their circuitry mounts 359 THE WAR HAS BEGUN

The kings rulers and statesmen Demand my loyalty But the esteem they hold has not been earned To justify their power or our suffering The kings rulers and statesmen Demand my loyalty For economic gain, power, and prestige They destroy the life of the common man The kings tricked men into becoming mercenaries A false sense of patriotism the spearhead for their greed Their wars, we fight their wars Like my father and grandfather, we do the dying They never volunteer themselves for their wars We fight their wars Like my father and grandfather, we do the dying They never volunteer their sons Cannot trust the man that lives to govern other men There has never been a good war, or a bad peace The blood is ankle deep Nothing but blood and teeth Name me a king that ever left his life on the battlefield Name me a war ever having been started by the people

Still fighting Still kicking Still breathing Still knowing Still loving Still roaring Still hoping Still caring Still dreaming Still fighting Still kicking Still breathing We’re still fighting down in these trenches Where no one hears our plea I’m sorry for screaming I just want you to hear the truth And I’m sorry for screaming I only want you to hear something right I only want to wake you From the nightmare of apathetic sleep So you can realize Hearts grow weary, minds die inside And we are living our lives dissatisfied But the message gets distorted by the anger in my voice My heart keeps pounding, these thoughts keep burning No one listens to the things that matter Because everyone’s afraid of what they can’t bear to hear My mind says scream ever louder You don’t want to understand I’m sorry for screaming I just want us to make some peace Your misinterpretation of my rage You think I’m everything I hate I’m sorry for screaming How could I know you hurt so bad? Mistakes were made I’m sorry for screaming But the world’s not changing And things aren’t how they’re supposed to be I’m sorry for screaming But the world needs saving And things aren’t how they’re supposed to be I’m sorry, but I’ve got to keep on screaming Because I’m not one for singing And you don’t listen to anyone When they’re speaking This heart that’s been to war Bitter and battle-scarred Fighting this all alone Seeking truth And hope And you think I’m everything I hate
