We All Know Songtext
Red hands and read revisions,
painting breath on sidewalk nights.
Sly slip of camouflaged shouting,
we were the hands but the clocks kept counting.

Warfare on allied forces.
All the king's men and all the king's horses
could never put our red hands together again.
Rise up, ready arms.
Your splintered tact's a fucking firing squad.
Fall back, unsteady arms.
You traded your armor for glare.

Perjury in the house of liars,
a vote was cast, now you're setting fires.
Bite your tongue and choke
on the words that the village took as gospel,
that which started the war.

Howl, howl, the bridge and the gallows. We all know.
