Our Time Honoured Tradition Of Cannibalism Lyrics

Our Time Honoured Tradition Of Cannibalism

from black panthers and the c.i.a.
into a sharp wit with a stupid
slag
we've gone and dug our own hole
cause everybody knows
we eat our
own

so busy fighting each other
while the real bastards fun for
cover
we shoot our own leaders down
before those in power get the
chance
so they sit back and laugh
while we destroy ourselves

wake
up and shut up
we've become our worst enemy

we've
sold
ourselves
out

turning inward to our own
detriment
forgetting the message that we were to send

we've
lost
count up
victims
roll call

they're all our own
look
back at what we've done
drove out the wrong side
kicked sand in our own
eyes

with every heroes welcome
is another group on the side
ready
to fire
if they step out of line
just one mistake
and jealous
hands
claw away
any hope for a better way

you bought it forget it
goodbye

so saints be on your toes
and heroes be not proud
because
as soon as the people rise
someone will tear you down

wake up and
shut up
we've become our worst enemy
