Lyrics for Modern Day Napoleon

Such a hawk Not a dove Do you really believe in the god above? Took control when we found ourselves in sticky situations Not a gesture of love, but self appreciation Idleness Webs of time Treacheries you undermined Now you find yourself in a sticky situation We laugh as you drown in your own humiliation [Chorus:] Search for the truth, wade through the lies A smiling face is your disguise Eye for a tooth, tooth for an eye Abused out trust and broke our ties Waste a week Save a dime Raping the scene, now you're a victim of the crime Using us pawns for your games of complication We suffered because of your ill procrastination Lots of plans None complete Never would you, could you accept defeat Kept us locked in a state of suspended animation Didn't want to let go, clung on like a damn mutation [Chorus] Such a hawk Not a dove Do you really believe in the god above? Took control when we found ourselves in sticky situations Not a gesture of love, but self appreciation Idleness Webs of time Treacheries you undermined Now you find yourself in a sticky situation We laugh as you drown in your own humiliation [Chorus]
