  • Birds are circling above
    They're called back to a waiting glove, oh
    Why don't they fly away?
    Surely they'd have guessed by now
    There is no gun to shoot them down, and
    Still, they stay for what they say

    Are they killing them with lies?
    Are they fighting for their lives?
    Killing them with thoughts?
    Can they never get enough?
    Killing them, are we killing?
    Killing every single feeling?
    It's a trained response

    Birds are circling above
    They're called back to a waiting glove, ehis
    Sordid game, it bears my name
    I have worshiped some false gods
    I've run to them like Pavlov's dogs to
    Hide my shame and fan the flame

    Are they killing them with lies?
    Are they fighting for their lives?
    Killing them with thoughts?
    Can they never get enough?
    Killing them, are we killing?
    Killing every single feeling?
    It's a trained response

    We're all preset
    To reset to

    Die
    To die
    We're all preset to reset to die
    We're all preset to reset to die

    Somebody told me once
    "Beat them till they start to get used to it"
    Next thing, they're lining up

    Are we killing it?
    Are we killing it?
    Are we killing it?
    Are we killing it?
    Are we killing it?
    Are we killing it?
    Are we killing it?
    Are we killing? Writer/s: Graham Edwards, James Christian Shaffer, Jonathan Howsman Davis, Lauren Christy, Reginald Arvizu, Scott Spock, Terry J. Bozzio, Terry John Bozzio, Zachary Ryan Baird

  • Zero from Nowhere, NjFor Some reason I thought he was saying "I have worshipped some false gods / I run to them like Pavlov's Dogs"
    Don't ask me Why...
  • Josh from Meridain, MsYa, everyday people have to take stupid bull and sometimes they just leat things go. The people that look away maybe the ones you have 2 watch out for cause they might be the one who dose the "Killing".
