Dumbstruck Lyrics

I mean we'll scare them
Pay one half to kill the other
Couple of threats go down a treat
Throw in counter-intelligence
Make up any old shit, get me?
Rest assured
The screams will not be heard

I mean we'll mute them
Make some noise of our own
A real big racket with drumrolls
They love us for it really
Tell them what they want to learn
Rest assured
The screams will not be heard

I mean we'll distract them
With endless reruns of old wars
If not bread then circuses
Make 'em squirm in their seats
Sleights of hand lambs shepherd's pie
Rest assured
The screams will not be heard

Rise assured
The screams will be heard
Rise assured
The screams will be heard
If it's the last thing I ever do
With my expiring breath
Rise assured
The screams will be heard
