Lyrics Strike Anywhere - In the fingernails

There's a new war starting in the world today
to halve the have-nots while we look away
the game of empire's pawns we fall
right through the chessboard

I will not fall for the black and white
armed with no options, we're ghosts in the fight
I won't pull the trigger on the world for you

underground

in ever city eye to eye
defined by our choices
not where we divide

in every city ear to ear
I hear the echoes of another way
every living day

and I know that I am not alone

inside I know the fault lies with us
too guarded to contact, too frightened to trust someone's heroes are someone's terrorists

watch the elites fall over themselves
to squeeze blood from a stone
I won't sell out my reasoning

and I know that I am not alone

in every city eye to eye
defined by our choices
not where we divide

underground

in every city ear to ear
I hear the echoes of another way
ever living day

and I know that I am not alone

I hear the echoes

and I will not fall for the black and white
armed with no options, we're ghosts in the fight
I won't pull the trigger on the world for you
