Letra de I Abstain

I abstain! Summon my pride? What? Pride behind your blinkered eyes? Your vigilance is shit The lads together - you fall! Smug complacency Notions of reserving the right to think with your fists I abstain from this mundane apathy Commited to All for red, white and blue In effect you're fighting for what's really fighting you Grit those teeth, push out those chests Tears only for the flag Always the brave patriot as you slip to second class But you stand stead fast? People are not subjects Why should the few get more respect? Open your eyes! Imperialism feeds off you Not patrons but patronised Open your eyes! They're shaping you - you're trapped with pomp and Circumstance Lose your discretion Sodom, you'll not fall from grace Endorse their rhetoric You fade, they prosper I abstain! Don't be a colonial slave Don't substantiate the act
