The World Goes On,With Or Without You

The dominoes falling
Reflect broken lives
When the chain ends
We die

We are just all slaves to the guns
Pointed to our backs
Which we ourselves loaded
And are foolish enough to give to another

The suffocation of everyday
By the hands of respected authority  
Out with the old in with the new
It's different yet exactly the same

We are just all slaves to the guns
Pointed to our backs
Which we ourselves loaded
And are foolish enough to give to another

We allow those who lie to live
To keep us happy through sedatives
To eliminate the ones who cry
Knock them out and left to die

We are just all slaves to the guns
Pointed to our backs
Which we ourselves loaded
And are foolish enough to give to another

Does it matter anyway?
The world goes on,with or without you
