Overthrow

All our pretty roads, fairy tales and crowns, broken on the floor

All our little words, love and peace and love, spoken with a sword

We say overthrow the government, put a new one up instead

If you can overthrow then overthrow,

If you can overthrow your soul

If you can overthrow then overthrow,

If you can overthrow your soul

Tell me how it goes, the one about the war,

the war that killed the king

Our hearts are still the same, stone and ice and steal

Lifeless hollow things

You say overthrow the government, who will save us from yourself?

If you can overthrow then overthrow,

If you can overthrow your soul

If you can overthrow then overthrow,

If you can overthrow yourself, yourself, yourself

Take me down and lock me up,

you can't change my head,

you can't change my heart

When this old life is done,

will we still be the stubborn souls we always were?

Today is our last change to turn around, to turn around

Yourself, yourself, yourself

If you can overthrow then overthrow,

If you can overthrow your soul

If you can overthrow then overthrow,

If you can overthrow your soul
