It doesn't come from big cities
It has a darker face
Like the ones that you say with pity
You should know that's where honesty is based

And you can't see it
But you can feel it
The damnation
You validate this blackness

I've fought for what I've felt
And not what sells
With the same old resolve
You are the government
Repent your time has come

It's nothing that money can buy
But Viacom sure does try
They say: "It's all about entertainment
It doesn't have to have meaning"

Well you can't see it
But I can feel it
The damnation
You validate this blackness

I've fought for what I've felt
And not what sells
With the same old resolve
You are our government
Repent your time has come

Well you can't see it
But I can feel it
Can you feel it
Can you feel it
The damnation
The damnation
The damnation
You validate this blackness

I've fought for what I've felt
And not what sells
With the same old resolve
You are our government
Repent your time has come

Well I feel it, do you feel it
Something's got to have a meaning
I need it, do you need it
Our brains are gone, our faith is dead
I'm breathing, are you breathing
Earnest art: humble men
I'm bleeding, who believes me
I know, I know, I know I've done my part
