Текст песни «Welcome to the Breakdown»

[Verse 1:] All hail, the jester has landed In flyover country he sings Charmed like a snake in a basket Should be curled up and ready to spring We’re raising our cross just to burn it The clergy are selling their souls Clearing a path, ignoring the facts Intoxicated by the throne [Pre-Chorus:] We’ll be standing here holding our ground, come what may Like a ghost haunts from beyond the grave [Chorus:] Welcome to the breakdown Welcome to the end of the road Welcome to the breakdown We’ve got nowhere else to go [Verse 2:] When we all go deaf in the chamber of echoes Cheering the missile parade Agreeing to let all the banks rob the people Together we circle the drain [Pre-Chorus:] We’ll be standing here holding our ground, come what may Like a ghost haunts from beyond the grave [Chorus:] Welcome to the breakdown Welcome to the end of the road Welcome to the breakdown We’ve got nowhere else to go [Chorus 2:] Welcome to the breakdown Welcome to the end of the road This is a breakdown And we’ve got nowhere else to go [Bridge:] It’s a game, you’ve been played It’s a flock, you’re the sheep It’s a pied-piper song that has lulled you to sleep It’s a lie and you fell for it — hook, line, and sinker A hand that you shook that then gave you the finger A fraud and a fake, a cowardly king A lie to your face, but you still kiss the ring This is the breakdown, this is the breakdown This is the breakdown! [Pre-Chorus] Standing here holding our ground, come what may Like a ghost haunts from beyond the grave [Chorus:] Welcome to the breakdown Welcome to the end of the road Welcome to the breakdown We’ve got nowhere else to go [Chorus 2:] Welcome to the breakdown Welcome to the end of the road This is a breakdown And we’ve got nowhere else to go [Outro:] It’s not much, but this is home And there’s nowhere else to go
