Lyrics for Spectators of Suicide

So the concept is this, basically We're gonna walk on this nation We're gonna walk on this racist power structure And we're going to say to the whole damn government "Stick 'em up, motherfucker, this is a hold up We come for what's ours" Obedience to the law is free desire Under curfew from sharp neon barbed wire Wasting away this country, wearing like born dead Free heroin shots for those who will no longer beg Spectators of suicide Exploding in society's eye Spitting glass from our mouths Dying like yesterday The only free choice is the refusal to pay Life reduced to suicidal comforting Cigarette death, it's suckling Choked on the same lines that we've all said Spectators of suicide It's wounding society's eyes Speak facts from my mouth Died like yesterday You're gonna shoot us dead with the words we say You're gonna shoot us dead with the words we say You're gonna shoot us dead with the words we say You're gonna shoot us dead with the words we say
