A mass of hands press on the market window
Ghosts of progress
Feeding on hunger
And glaring through the promise
Upon the food that rots slowly in the aisle
A mass of nameless at the oasis
That hides the graves beneath the masters hill
Are buried for drinking
The rivers water
While shackled to the line
At the empty wall

This is the new sound
Just like the old sound
Just like the noose wound
Over the new ground

Listen to the fascist sing
Take hope here
War is elsewhere
You were chosen
This is God's land
Soon well be free
Of blot and mixture
Seeds planted by our
Forefathers hand

A mass of promise
Begin to rupture
Like the pockets
Of the new world kings
Like swollen stomachs
In Appalachia
Like the the priest that fucked you
As he whispered holy things
A mass of tears have transformed to stones now
Sharpened on suffering
And women into slings
Hope lies in the rubble of this rich fortress
Taking today what tomorrow never brings

This is the new sound
Just like the old sound
Just like the noose wound
Over the new ground

Ain't it funny how the factory doors close
Round the time that the school doors close
Round the time that the doors of a jail cell
Open up to greet you like the reaper

Ain't it funny how the factory doors close
Round the time that the school doors close
Round the time that a hundred thousand jail cells
Open up to greet you like the reaper

This is the new sound
Just like the old sound
Just like the noose wound
Over the new ground

Like ashes in the fall

This song, and especially the verse that I put in bold very much speaks to today's youth, warning them to not trust politicians or the government. While some might think this extreme and, perhaps, a little too "young" we should remember that politicians lie. It's a fact of life and something that hasn't changed over the past thousand or so years.

Once kids leave the shelter of Mom and Dad's home and head off to live on their own merit, they will have to be prepared to function in society. Though most of society seems to believe everything their party's candidate says perhaps if we heard more messages like this, we could breed a wiser generation. A generation that thought for itself and still remained united.

Whatever the case, this song is a warning to the American people. Youth are the new "American People" and they should educate themselves on politics and the people that try to run their lives for them.
