about

Une ode aux dictateurs de ce monde /// An ode to the dictators of this world

Let's hope we can do better in the future
En se souhaitant de faire mieux pour le futur

Made in Les Îles-de-la-Madeleine, Quebec, Canada

lyrics

Turn the knife into the wound
Spit right in my face
Find the things I care about
Use them against me
Love yourself and no one else
We're pawns in your game
Make sure that we blame ourselves
Sheep to the slaughter

Lie, the way only you can
They believe every word you say
You are the prophet and the king
Your word is holiest of all

Show them show them what you'll do
When they won't comply
Discard us after you're through
We love when you're cruel

Lock me up into your cell
Throw away the keys
Lure me, use me, waste me

Lie, the way only you can
They'll believe every word you say
You are the prophet and the king
Your word is holiest of all

Turn the knife into the wound
Spit right in my face
Find the things I care about
Use them against me

Lock me up into your cell
Throw away the keys
Lure me, use me, waste me
