Name: Pray Or Be Prey
Duration: P00H04M54S
Description: This song is inspired by the current political climate and hot button issues this year. I wrote half of it when I was completely drunk on this past lonely Valentine's Day and woke up the next morning to a completed song structure that I only remembered parts of. Thankfully, I was very happy with the end result, even though I DIDN'T remember writing parts of it.

This song is inspired by the current political climate and hot button issues this year. I wrote half of it when I was completely drunk on this past lonely Valentine's Day and woke up the next morning to a completed song structure that I only remembered parts of.

lyrics

Maybe we'll all catch fire
For doing things we're yearning.
A world so uninspired,
We've ceased our need for learning.

Evolve or you'll expire.
This world won't wait on turning.
Your views are dark and dire.
Illuminate them by burning.

Please don't speak for me.
I don't silence easily.
Braindead to the Nth degree,
Dogma hinders society.

Tell me what I should do
With this flesh I was born with.
These rights of ours are gone.
Decisions based on old myth.

Out of touch, out of time,
So damn anachronistic.
They want the right to kill,
But we can't choose who we sleep with.

Please don't speak for me.
I don't silence easily.
Braindead to the Nth degree,
Dogma hinders society.

We're free to do as you say,
We're free to die for your country.
We're free to pray or be prey.
We're free to leave, obey to stay.

We're free to do as you say,
We're free to die for your country.
We're free to pray or be prey.
We're free to leave, obey to stay.

Please don't speak for me.
I don't silence easily.
Braindead to the Nth degree,
Dogma hinders society.

Another choice to make.
But no choice is worth choosing.
No matter who we choose
We always wind up losing.

Large sums will motivate,
The throngs of sheep will follow.
The thinking beings watch
The march of heads so hollow.

Please don't speak for me.
I don't silence easily.
Braindead to the Nth degree,
Dogma hinders society.

We're free to do as you say,
We're free to die for your country.
We're free to pray or be prey.
We're free to leave, obey to stay.

We're free to do as you say,
We're free to die for your country.
We're free to pray or be prey.
We're free to leave, obey to stay.
