Song Meaning
"A lot of people look at this in a very negative way, and in a lot of ways, it is if you continue to try and solve your problems the same way over and over again. That said, this track is also a reflection of what Slipknot is. Just when you thought you had us all figured out, give up all hope because you're never, ever going to. Besides, we like it that way!!"
Lyrics
The state of the nation – violation A broken promise is as good as a lie The hell is humongous, the devil's among us And we will burn 'cause we won't unite What are we conceding for our freedom? Why does anybody think we need them? I would rather fight than let another die We're the problem, but we're also the solution All hope is gone! If you want it, come and take it from me If you think you can, you still don't know me Let me tell you, man, when I said it, I meant it And I will always have the right to defend it Fifty seconds, a hundred murders The bill of rights is a bill of sale What will you do when the war is over? What will you do when your system fails?
We have made the present obsolete! What do you want? What do you need? We'll find a way when all hope is gone! We've seen the fall of the elite! Bury your life! Take your disease! We'll end the world when all hope is gone! We have made the present obsolete! What do you want? What do you need? We'll find a way when all hope is gone! We've seen the fall of the elite! Bury your life! Take your disease! We'll end the world when all hope is gone!
The wretched are the wounded The hungry starve to death In a place where no one goes The air itself is a final breath So discontinue The antiseptic care charade As a cry of justice comes A malignant fire fades I am the reason your future suffers I am the hatred you won't embrace I am the worm of a pure gestation I am the remedy, spit in my face All your laws and rules are outdated All your subjects are killing the kings I can rattle off a million other reasons why But does it matter when the only thing we love will die?
We have made the present obsolete! What do you want? What do you need? We'll find a way when all hope is gone! We've seen the fall of the elite! Bury your life! Take your disease! We'll end the world when all hope is gone! We have made the present obsolete! What do you want? What do you need? We'll find a way when all hope is gone! We've seen the fall of the elite! Bury your life! Take your disease! We'll end the world when all hope is gone!
When all hope is gone! When all hope is gone!
When all hope is gone!
