<b>Four Score and Seven</b> by <i>Titus Andronicus</i><br />

(Pt. I)

This is a war we can't win

After 10,000 years, it's still us against them

And my heroes have always died at the end

So who's going to account for these sins?

And I don't know who here is my friend

Well, I'm certain that I've seen only men

Christ, fuck me if I can remember when

Will I never be lonely again?

Well the tides are a-turnin' once more

Six dark-winged devils line up at my door

Each one is more evil than that which came before

Seven angels fly me across the floor (???)

You (???) to believe you're a star

And I'll admit that it's worked out pretty well so far

But when they see the kind of person that you really are

Then you won't be laughing so hard

No, you won't be laughing so hard!

You won't be laughing so hard

(Pt. II)

"We're all depraved and disgusting" I spew like a fountain,

"And debased, defaced, disgraced and destroyed,

"Most of all disappointed" I say atop this mountain

As I urinate into the void

Fuck I'm frustrated, freaking out something fierce

Would you help me, I'm hungry, I suffer and I starve

Oh I struggle and I stammer 'till I'm up to my ears

In miserable quote unquote awe.

But however since our forefathers came on this land

We've been coddling those we should be running through

Please don't wait around for them to come and shake hands

They're not gonna be waiting for you

'Cause these humans treat humans like humans treat hogs

They get used up, coughed up, and fried in a pan

But I wasn't born to die like a dog,

I was born to die just like a man

I was born to die just like a man!

It's still us against them

And they're winning
