Lyrics: About Us

Everything you wanted, everything you needed

Twice as much in only half of the time

Put the money down first, baby, pushing back hurts

When you gonna get in line?

This is what you wanted, right?

Nobody moves, nobody dies

Children better run and hide

Daddy's got a gun and your caviar iced

(Baby, pour the wine)


Thy will be done, thy will be done

'Til kingdom come, if that ever comes

I feel so numb under your thumb

I feel so numb


They don't give a damn about us

Your pretty tears are going to waste

You dug a grave for both of us

And now it's too late

'Cause you got what you want

Now bow down to your God

And no, he doesn't give a damn about us

And I'm done trying to save you


Push a little harder, push a little farther

Lock the panic in the back of your mind

Bodies in the crossfire, empathy's a vampire

Truth for sale and saviors for hire

This is what you wanted, right?

Choking on ash, sipping Kool-Aid

Better lock your door tonight

Help will never come, but we're sure gonna pray

(This is your life)


Thy will be done, thy will be done

'Til kingdom come, if that ever comes

I feel so numb under your thumb

I feel so numb


They don't give a damn about us

Your pretty tears are going to waste

You dug a grave for both of us

And now it's too late

'Cause you got what you want

Now bow down to your God

And no, he doesn't give a damn about us

And no one's gonna save you


This is what you wanted, right?

A little blood to soothe the hatred

This is what you wanted, right?

First in line to pay the price

This is what you wanted, right?

Somebody else to blame as it all burns

This is what you wanted, right? ([?] what you wanted, right?)

Bury all of us alive

They're pounding down the door (Pounding down the door)

What are you waiting for? (What are you waiting for?)


They don't give a damn about us

Your pretty tears are going to waste

You dug a grave for both of us

And now it's too late

'Cause you got what you want

Now bow down to your God

And no, he doesn't give a damn about us


They don't give a damn about us (They don't give a damn about us)

They don't give a damn about us (They don't give a damn about us)

They don't give a damn about us (They don't give a damn about us)

They don't give a damn about us

And no one's gonna save you
