A shiny new agenda, birthed from a depraved mind
Gm Eb Bb Am G#7
Of failing us on purpose, to culturally sanitize

Dm
The perfect plan
Must have an alibi
Dm
And the perfect pawn
To spew the party line
Dm
Of the perfect falsehood
Spoke a thousand times
Dm
The perfect words
Cover the greatest crime

Hell is turning itself inside out
Am Dm
To lead its path up to meet us

And we deliberately take
Bb Am Gm Dm
A step, one foot closer to the grave
Dm
TO THE GRAVE
