Lyrics

Stockholm Syndrome (George Dobbs / DeclanPower © 2004

There?s one thing that I know
I?m going straight to hell
When I chose to serve you ? I was caught in a wave
you washed me clean away.

Now I know why,
I chose your side ? they call it Stockholm syndrome
When you forced me to chain my fellow victims
And I could lie ? and say it wasn?t me
that held them under the gun
But I found a God to follow

God damn, you played ?em like a song,
You had ?em all on their knees
Mayors, Presidents, Priests, ?eyewitness news?
God damn, you knew me all along, my revolution
And vengeance was mine?????
We all boil down to one thing.

They broke me in the hole
It was easy now to choose
Everyone is evil and I?m easily fooled
It?s just like what you said - I know I?ll do it all again.
Now I know why,
I chose your side ? they call it Stockholm syndrome
But of course we?ve been bested by our demons
And I could cry
? because redemption cannot breathe behind these walls
But I found a gun to swallow

CHORUS:
God damn, you played us like a song,
You had us all on our knees
Mayors, Presidents, Priests, all were fooled (fools)
God damn, you knew me all along, my devolution
And vengeance was thine
We all boil down to one thing.
????????????????..
God damn ? you knew me all along
You knew me all along.
