Walk Astray Lyrics - The Misery Index: Notes From The Plague Years - Boy Sets Fire

Where were you the day they stole our innocence? 

And arranged a sacrifice for everyone in town. 

To bore(?) the words yet to be written underground 

To save the money on the kerosene they need. 

Were you awake or were you sleeping? 

Or just too afraid to disagree? 

Well I don't wanna sing about freedom anymore. 

I wanna see it! I wanna feel it! 

I wanna know that it still sits beyond the lies that we've been told 

beyond the wars that keep our families from home, 

I know that there's a way. 

Dear God, let there be a way 

to change the path we're on (path we're on). 

.and believe in a better day. 

Our dreams are their worst nightmares, these songs a call to arms 

we can dance on the graves that held us, we can change the course of time 

Stand up and fight, save yourself, 

strike, the time is now 

You and me, we are more like sheep, (more like sheep) 

forced to march crippled feet to the slaughter 

I'll stand on principle, banner lifted and a fist raised high 

Filthy soul with a patriot heart, dancing rhythms in a world apart 

But you and me, we can live like thieves 

on the dreams that we stole from their fears 

Casting pearls before swine, hanging dead on the vine 

Can we strive to be so much more than this? 

You and me, we are more like sheep, (more like sheep) 

forced to march crippled feet to the slaughter 

to the slaughter 

to the slaughter 

to the slaughter
