Lyrics

The Price




We?re paying the price for every man we?ve enslaved
For everything we took that nobody gave
For all the miles of the garden that we?ve cut down and paved

We?re paying the price
We?re paying the price

We?re paying the price for the revenge we have sought
For every lethal injection
Every gun we have bought

We?re paying the price
We?re paying the price

The sins of the fathers
Upon the sons
We don?t want to bother
(And) we?ve only just begun

Paying the price
We?re paying the price


We?re paying the price for the oil in Iraq
For all of those kids that never came back
For every Iraqi
Left living in a shack

We?re paying the price
We?re paying the price


Optional verse:

We?re paying the price for all the animals in cages
That we have systematically killed in stages
All in the name of our holy science
We?re paying the price for our lack of defiance




The sins of the fathers
Upon the sons
We don?t want to bother
(And) we?ve only just begun

Paying the price
Paying the price

(Optional Spoken): We?re paying the price for our lack of defiance
We?re paying the price for our passive compliance
Passive compliance
Passive compliance??.
