lyrics

You’ve known that it’s wrong to just keep muddling along
There’s no room for failure to stay strong.
Unprincipled peace masks a supremacist beast
Whose decay will spread upon its release.

What do I really know? What do I have to show?
How far can these excuses go?
To fight this corrosion at the cost of full self-implosion
Paves the way for ideals to face expulsion.

So loyal and honest and active and upright
So tell me what’s causing you this fright?

Pour out the bottle, load up your gun.
We can’t let up until we’ve won.
We can’t conceal, what has been revealed.
For the first time, I know that it’s for real.

If you want to throttle that Philistine bottle,
You’ve got no time left to dawdle.
Grab hold of that gun, your unifying weapon,
This struggle is an ideological one.

To insist on a 12th type because your own mind isn’t ripe,
Is to dive head first down the drain pipe.
That pride is a fake, now for humanity’s sake
Don’t speak before you investigate.

So loyal and honest and active and upright
So tell me what’s causing you this fright?

Pour out the bottle, load up your gun.
We can’t let up until we’ve won.
We can’t conceal, what has been revealed.
I think this whole time, I've known that it's for real.
