Lyrics
Saw the whole line forming For a promise they won't keep People wasting their years Yet history will repeat They hold up stupid signs To prove that they're alive But they can't figure out Why it hurts them inside We chew We bite Same veins Same life Call it living Call it fine A sick game A sick game Broken primate parade Broken primate parade They laugh at the flame Then they inhale the smoke Mmm, yeah Poured concrete on the water Called the parking lot a plan Put a number on the ground Said that made it clean again Gesture in one hand Pamphlet in the other Put a crack in the glass They can't stand one another We see it We see it Still we feed it We feed it Dress the damage Give it a name The same rage The same rage Broken primate parade Broken primate parade They laugh at the flame Then they inhale the smoke Broken primate parade Broken primate parade So smart in their cage While choking on their hope Don't need saving Don't need praise Just a little shame on an ordinary day Is anyone left who understands this place? Keep on climbing Over blood, over bread Keep on climbing With the flesh in your teeth Keep on climbing Eyes gone quiet Keep on climbing No ground left beneath Broken primate parade Broken primate parade They laugh at the flame Then they inhale the smoke Broken primate parade Broken primate parade So smart in their cage While choking on their hope I see what we made And it tears me in two This broken primate This broken primate parade
