Suddenly Righteous

from Sinombre Vol I: All Hope is Gone by Paul Miro

/

lyrics

How much of life is lost in waiting,
Looking to a future we can’t tell?
Some paint it bright,
Others paint a vision of hell
Some dig through the dirt
While others reach for the stars
But if you don’t slow down,
Gonna miss out on who you are.

War, murder, rape, torture, pain and slavery.

Your mind goes to a darker place
And you wonder why I keep the worst from you.
There never was a past so bright,
Yeah, the trouble is, it wasn’t true.
They can’t see what’s in front of their eyes
‘cause they’ve got their minds on their history books
And that backhand full of knuckles
Was a compliment that you mistook.

War, murder, rape, torture, pain and slavery.
(Suddenly righteous. Suddenly)
I’m tired of all the
Hate, fear, ignorance, genocide and bigotry.
(Suddenly righteous. Suddenly you)


Chorus:
Suddenly you are one of the righteous few
Trying to tell me what I should do.
So what made you suddenly righteous, too?
What’s your game?

Move along, everything’s tickety boo
Yeah, we’ll figure it out like we always do
Yesterday’s villains are today’s empowered,
Yeah, give ‘em an inch, they’re gonna build the showers.
Strip it down, cut to the chase,
There’s always someone talkin’ ‘bout a master race
Feels like a dog day afternoon
Is coming here, and it’s coming soon.

War, murder, rape, torture, pain and slavery.
(Suddenly righteous. Suddenly)
I’m tired of all the
Hate, fear, ignorance, genocide and bigotry.
