[Intro] [Fast distorted guitar riff] [Verse 1] Tires screaming on the blacktop of a broken dream, The gears are grinding red in the binary machine. That 1930s rot is rising through the kitchen floor, While the orator is kicking down the playground door. [Chorus] (Aggressive) The stomach fire’s roaring like a hurricane wind, For every broken promise and every gilded sin. The sky is cracking open, let the mandate show: The skid is over now and the man must go! [Verse 2] Cold steel zip-ties biting in the border sun, Looking for a monster where there isn't one. Tear the cages open, let the silence break, Fuck the system built on every breath they take. [Chorus] (Shouted) The stomach fire’s roaring like a hurricane wind, For every broken promise and every gilded sin. The sky is cracking open, let the mandate show: The skid is over now and the man must go! [Bridge] [Bass Solo] A red hat’s floating down the sewer in the rain, Scrape the gold-leaf letters off the monument of pain. From a golden tower to a footnote in the grime, Discarded in the dustbin at the end of time. [Verse 3] (Building tension) The burning bile is cooling into heavy grey ash, The era’s ending now with a thunderous crash. Slam the vault door shut and turn the heavy key, Welcome to the silence of a world that’s free. [Chorus] (Full power) The stomach fire’s roaring like a hurricane wind, For every broken promise and every gilded sin. The sky is cracking open, let the mandate show: The skid is over now and the man must go! [Outro] [Guitar Feedback] The man must go! THE MAN MUST GO! [Stop]
