A Bitter Lesson Lyrics

Here we have an order
Where leaders squabble in fear
The protectorate's voice exacts excellence
Though it can't see the path leading there

This is the endgame of the endgame. Check-mate gone by.

The Fallen Angel in our hearts
Charcoaled black and dead inside
Laid dormant in its abyss
The peace of mind drawn to black
Tossed onto the greatest truth
Awakened - The puppy became a wolf

We got the supposedly unarmed elite
Against the armed but deeply inbred dead-beats
Tactless tactics and mortgage-heaps
You still seem, dumb to us

Blue-collar majorities
Racing for self-alienation
Unto the gravest constituency
That's ever been or ever will be.

The Fallen Angel in our hearts
Charcoaled black and dead inside
Laid dormant in its abyss
The peace of mind drawn to black
Tossed onto the coldest truth
Awakened - The puppy became a wolf
