Metal Allegiance - Liars & Thieves

Liars, thieves stole from me

Structured fortress grazed the sky
Abandoned sidewalks hear their cry
Cracked out corners smack on the street
A city fallen
Nation's defeat

Global finance standing tall
Corrupting lives, destroying all
Corporate greed the American way
Say goodbye to the U.S. of A

Towering
Once tall
Crumbling
Rise and fall
Governing
Behind a wall
Watch 'em tumble
Watch 'em fall

Liars, thieves
On your knees
(On your knees)
Liars, thieves
Full of greed
Liars, thieves
Stole from me
(Stole from me)
How much more can they need?

Streets of sadness once were gold
Tales of glory, tales of old
Business thriving
Skyline is high
Now the cities left to die

Laziness broke our dreams
Wall Street ripped out the seams
Push came then the shove
Dollar bill is now their love

Cowering manic haul
Vanishing jobs and all
Conquering as they brawl
Watch 'em tumble
Watch 'em fall

Liars, thieves
On your knees
(On your knees)
Liars, thieves
Full of greed
Liars, thieves
Stole from me
(Stole from me)
How much more can they need?

Liars, thieves
On your knees
(On your knees)
Liars, thieves
Make me bleed
Liars, thieves
Stole from me
(Stole from me)
How much more can they need?

City riots
State dreams
Thousands dead
Nation gleams
Endless debt
Intervene
Double-dealing
Nation beam

Hiding fraud
The house deems
Millions gone
The nation team
Exploitation
Profiteering
Defamation
The regime

(Solo #1: Alex Skolnick)

Right and left capital thoughts
Pissing on the middle who they fought
Stealing dreams underground
Wolves on the street don't get beat

CEO laugh in glass
Corporations kick us in the ass
Recession, collapsing
Depression, allure
Left in a void without a cure

(Solo #2: Alex Skolnick)

Land of the free
Home of the brave
Our country morale is in the grave
Betrayal and greed
Endless decay
The rich are intact
The flag astray

Money in hand lost in the crack
The little guy out
Big guy will tax
Detroit, Chicago
New York, L.A
Great cities falling in decay

Liars, thieves
On your knees
(On your knees)
Liars, thieves
Full of greed
Liars, thieves
Stole from me
(Stole from me)
How much more can they need?

Liars, thieves
On your knees
(On your knees)
Liars, thieves
Make me bleed
Liars, thieves
Stole from me
(Stole from me)
How much more can they need?
