Lyrics
The Spin They Spawn
(c) 2004 Barrows / Schleunes / earRotator
Why do they hate us
Why don't they just love us
Why can't we all get along
Why don't they trust us
If only they knew us
We stand for right not wrong
Our great ideals
How good it feels
United we stand on the fence
Who cares if it's true
We do what we do
Regardless of the consequence
The spin they spawn
The seed they sow
The bodies they buried
In the row they hoe
We gave them their weapons
They turned them against us
We used to call them our friends
Who makes these decisions
Which we never question
We're letting them do it again
We got gasoline
For all our machines
A tank with a tiger inside
The skippers will save us
From what they created
We go along for the ride
