The Headlines Lyrics

Lying through your twisted smile

You tell the world that everything's okay

Death to all the passengers

Who flee the wars that you campaigned to wage

Hid behind a suit and tie

You twist the headlines so they swing your way

They come and go and leave behind a debt for us to pay

Have we hit the ceiling

Or are we being held by a weight

Save us from this sickness

Before we drift away

Drinking wine and trading smiles

Whilst shores abroad are suffering from the pain

Preaching hope by financing

A photo-op of joy beside a cage

Every month a new recruit

To pacify the people in the way

They come and go and no one knows

Have we hit the ceiling

Or are we being held by a weight

Save us from this sickness

Before we drift away

Hey

Have we hit the ceiling

Or are we being held by a weight

Save us from this sickness

Before we drift away
