Lyrics for One Assassination Under God

You gave us what we wished for A few tangled strings attached Pull back the curtain I won't suffer for your amusement There's no more dreams for me to sell I choose my nightmares wisely Don't wanna ruin the story But it doesn't turn out well You will always be entertained Everybody showed up For the execution But nobody would Show their face To shoot you in The back of the head And call it sacrifice They don't deserve To even say your name Put me inside the animal Stitch it up and shove us off a cliff When they tear the wings From all the swine Just monkeys will be left to fly Pilot light has flickered out And all the ashes will be screaming No one can hear my last words And no encore once we say goodbye You will always be entertained You will always be entertained Everybody showed up For the execution But nobody would Show their face To shoot you in The back of the head And call it sacrifice They don't deserve To even say your name Assassination Assassination Assassination Assassination Everybody showed up For the execution But nobody would Show their face To shoot you in The back of the head And call it sacrifice They don't deserve To even say your name Sacrifice It's not a sacrifice It's not a sacrifice It's not a sacrifice
