Go numb, go numb, go numb
It’s the best shot you got at living on
I had classic dreams of martyrdom
But sometimes the best rebellion’s staying young
A posse of polarization overriding a system
Steeped in corruption, built on the backs of slaves
While their drivers call themselves “self-made”
And who are we now today?
Offenders wearing “survivor”
So-called Christians leading the slaughter
A pack of wolves shedding their collars
Gnawing the bones of the people they martyred
They say “take it up with the world”;
The bad apple in the grove
They never did teach us why the hell it can grow
Who’s waterin’ the seeds of corruption?
Who’s waterin’ the seeds of corruption?
Our tempers too short
Our hearts on our sleeves
I swear I’ll fight when the fight comes to me
But we’ll stay kids till someone with a gun disagrees
Our children are soldiers
Garnished with flowers
How much of our failure will we force them to shoulder?
We’re signing their deaths before they can grow older
By dawn’s early light, they’ll be youngins forever
I’m too hopeful that I won’t get shot or forced to give birth
Sounds ugly, right? Well, take it up with the church
Every day feels more helpless with the way of the world
But read a history book, y’all, it’s been worse
There’s more than two sides, two sides of this coin
And neither shine brighter than the light of the Lord
There’s more than two sides, two sides of this coin
Oh, who’s waterin’ the seeds of corruption?
Go numb, go numb, go numb
It’s the best shot you got at living on
I had classic dreams of martyrdom
But sometimes the best rebellion’s staying young
They say take it up with the world;
The bad apple in the grove
They never did teach us why the hell it can grow
Who’s waterin’ the seeds of corruption?
By dawn’s early light, they’ll be youngins forever
Who’s waterin’ the seeds of corruption?
Our children are soldiers
Go numb, go numb, go numb
Our children are soldiers
Go numb, go numb
Go numb, go numb
yeah, this has been brewing for a while.
