Lyrics

Expendable

just one question for natural selection
they say who’s it gonna be, you or me
can i hold that thought
just a little longer
can you hold me

hey brothers are we all expendable?
there aint no heaven there aint no hell
all we have is here and now, people

the end of the world on replay on replay
boring me shitless with its constant complain
revolution after revolution
but nothing change like night follows day
its ritual, instinctual

hey friends are we all expendable?
there aint no heaven there aint no hell
unless its right here, people
deep down i know you know the truth
everybody gets their shot
but no one’s bullet proof
after the storm is over
you cant remember how you ever made it through

can i hold that thought just a little longer?
can you hold me, just a little stronger
an act of human kindness holds the key
unlocks the silence
blood glows read, hearts beat faster
when we’re together all we have is love

hey sister are we all expendable?
nobody wins, but so many of you think they do
don’t try to fool yourself people
deep down you know the truth
everybody gets their one shot
but no one’s bullet proof
after the storm is over
you cant remember how you ever made it through

can i hold that thought just a little longer
can you hold me, just a little stronger
