We fell down in a ditch Picked up a BC Rich To cure our aching itch Didn't make it to court Got a red pearl export From the gods of the north Running away from the herd But the promises made were all destined to fail from the start 'Cause now we 're stuck in the wave Turning into our graves, caught inside There will be no one to save us We're axed and it's too late to bail out Now it's crushing our spine It's a sign of what's to come down the line All our dreams are forsaken, our hope washed away by the tide American wives Ruined our lives Satan in disguise Paved our way through dark times and decay But the cards we've been dealt tied Our hands, there's no way to escape And now we 're stuck in the wave Turning into our graves, caught inside There will be no one to save us We're axed and it's too late to bail out Now it's crushing our spine, it's a sign what's to come down the line Clinging on to a dream that was dead long before we came to life ♪ Walking the blood drenched roads A world in discord Now it's all against all Look! See all the dark clouds gather The four winds are loose and the cities we built will dissolve! And we 're still stuck in the wave Turning into our graves, caught inside There will be no one to save us We're axed and it's too late to bail out Now it's crushing our spine, it's a sign what's to come down the line Clinging on to a dream that was dead long before we came to life
