[Intro] [clean electric guitar arpeggio, light cymbal swells] [distorted guitar enters with power chords] [full band enters, driving drum beat] [Verse 1] [distorted guitar drops to palm-muted rhythm] In Washington D.C. [bass and drums continue] [Chorus] [full distorted guitar chords, heavy drums] Was it really so long ago My true objective still held true I can't believe that it's come so far Only to end up in a different view Warping my intentions Changing what I'll do Casts of thousands waiting For the chosen few [Post-Chorus] [sustained vocal belt] The heads of state Who decide our future, our fate One decision a mistake [vocal growl] Why? [Guitar Solo] [fast melodic lead guitar with wah-wah effect and heavy distortion] [rapid alternate picking and blues-based bends] [Bridge] [gritty male vocals] I was led to believe in my supporters The cause we fought for was oh so righteous I was fed to machines with higher powers Serving the interests of humankind I was bled, stripped of my defenses Twisted, distorted, rewritten in lies I was dead, murdered in committee By special interests saying do or die [Chorus] The heads of state- who decide our future, our fate One decision a mistake. Bye! [Guitar Solo] [full band intensity] [Outre] So long ago- in Washington DC I can't believe that it's come so far In Washington DC The cause we fought for was oh so righteous In Washington DC Waiting for the chosen few In Washington DC . [distorted guitar feedback swell] [final drum hit] [Instrumental fade out with clean guitar]
