The Ones You Made Us Lyrics


A thousand dead bodies

Washed up on the shore

Telling a story

You can't deny anymore

What is your purpose

How do you think this will end

When this war is over

You'll be the king of no-man's-land

Let us die by thirst or let us drown

(We're the ones you made us)

Burn our houses, shoot us down

(We're the ones you made us)

Kill until your lies come true

(We're the ones you made us)

You will pay for what you do 'cause

(We're the ones you made us)

We are the voice of reason

You won't silence us with pain

We bear the consequences

Every time you make a mistake

We kill and die

For a truth you try to hide from us

We spend our lives

Losing what we thought was faith or trust

We've reached the boiling point

And you're still fueling the fire

Let us die by thirst or let us drown

(We're the ones you made us)

Burn our houses, shoot us down

(We're the ones you made us)

Kill until your lies come true

(We're the ones you made us)

You will pay for what you do 'cause

(We're the ones you made us)

You should have shown some respect

Now you're running

From those you're supposed to protect

Now you are running

Now you are running

Now you are running

Now you are running

There's no chance this won't backfire

You promised peace but practice war

You better watch your back

The next time that we raise our guns

The mood has changed

And you're the ones to blame

Go hide away

And beware of what you made of us

We've reached the boiling point

Now get into the water

Let us die by thirst or let us drown

(We're the ones you made us)

Burn our houses, shoot us down

(We're the ones you made us)

Kill until your lies come true

(We're the ones you made us)

You will pay for what you do 'cause

(We're the ones you made us)
