House Arrest Lyrics - Singles - Strike Anywhere

Hear the clock ticks 

like the bombs 

of history 

jail time 

ticking outside 

they keep us treading the lines 

the stocks and figures 

hands shake 

then triggers 

powers-that-be 

clean up 

the waste of our dreams 

all your trends, 

back ends 

and we all know what it means 

I walk this wasteland with you 

but it's the least I can do 

I walk this wasteland with you 

and it's the least I can do 

and they say 

give it time 

while we stand 

in the lines 

and 

our anthems 

diluted to bind us 

trapped in this cage 

it defines us 

for 

a fairer future 

these flags we burn 

in the name 

of 'civilization' 

repression 

unlearn 

I walk this wasteland with you 

but it's the least I can do 

I walk this wasteland with you 

but it's the least I can do 

All the lines 

yesterday went by 

All the lines 

yesterday went blind 

this toxic nerve 

release us 

this toxic nerve 

release us 

this toxic nerve 

release 

and get us the 

fuck out of here 

I walk this wasteland with you 

but it's the least I can do 

I walk this wasteland with you 

but it's the least I can do 

I walk this wasteland with you 

I walk this wasteland with you 

I walk this wasteland with you 

and it's the least I can do
