lyrics

Just when you thought the clouds had parted
When someone better for the job could not be found
Our world is burnt and brokenhearted
A place divided by who can and can't adhere
Our loyal servants have departed
Let's lock our gates and pray they never reappear

This is the future you wanted

Now, I know just what you're thinking
All the money in the world won't save us now
Better hide when they come knocking
They'll leave our bodies lying lifeless on the ground

This is the future you wanted
Sick with our chosen disease
This is the future we wanted
Now we're all living on our knees

Don't despair now that night falls
Light the world with the fires from our homes

So long we've been kept starving
Now it's our to feed
Too long we've gone hungry
Now we're gonna take what we need

I can hear you now
I can feel you now
I can smell you now
I can taste you now
I can hear you now
We can smell you now
We can tell you now
We can see you now

Gonna teach you a lesson, one you'll never forget
Your Bastille is broken. Don't you ever forget.
Winter Palace is fallen. Don't you ever forget.
Gonna teach you this lesson, so you never forget.

That this is the future you wanted
Sick with your chosen disease
This is the future you wanted
Now we're all gon' beg and plead
This is the future we wanted
Sick with our chosen disease
This is the future we wanted
They're gonna make us bleed and scream

This is the future you wanted
This is the future I wanted
This is the future we wanted
This is the future
