lyrics

Strong arm
And a quick spin
Silence the alarm
Infiltrate from within
Let down your guard
Never see our intent
To distribute all the lies
To disguise the dissent

A tight grip
And a closed fist
Control it all
You cannot resist
Your information
Moral castration
All before breakfast
Baby, it’s the tempest

The more you know
The less you know
The more you know
The less you know

It’s the end, it’s the end, it’s the end of the world
It’s the end, it’s the end, it’s the end of the world
It’s the end, it’s the end, it’s the end of the world

Put up a smokescreen
Drown out their tired dreams
We’ll never let go
Put out another memo
Who was wrong?
Who was right?
We’ll keep em guessing, keep em guessing tonight

And now we’re closed in
This is how we’ll get them
The truth enshrouded, but we shout it
So they couldn’t doubt it
And now our last act closing out the contract
Before their sentence
Baby, it’s the tempest

The more you know
The less you know
The more you know
The less you know

It’s the end, it’s the end, it’s the end of the world
It’s the end, it’s the end, it’s the end of the world
It’s the end, it’s the end, it’s the end of the world

It’s the end, it’s the end, it’s the end of the world
It’s the end, it’s the end, it’s the end of the world
It’s the end, it’s the end, it’s the end of the world

It’s the end, it’s the end, it’s the end of the world
It’s the end, it’s the end, it’s the end of the world
It’s the end, it’s the end, it’s the end of the world
