Middle fingers up if you don't give a f*ck
I've seen the devil swallowing
Every single thing I've said
Middle fingers up if you don't give a f*ck
You think you're changing anything?
Quit saying anything

The world's in the shit and your children are fucked
The ones you think got you are out for your blood
Well, the lines are blurred and washed out with spite
So what exactly do you think you're going to change?

United we'll fail
Divided we'll fall
We're fucked, but you're making it worse.
United we'll fail
Divided we'll fall
Give up, 'cause you're making it so much worse

Middle fingers up if you don't give a f*ck
I've seen the devil swallowing
Every single thing I've said
Middle fingers up if you don't give a f*ck
You think you're changing anything?
Quit saying anything

Give me a break, you deluded arrogant f*ck
Self-savvy prick
If you really believe in the words that you preach
Get off your seat and onto the street
There will be no peaceful revolution,
No war without blood
You can say I'm just a fool who stands for nothing
Well for that, I say you're a cunt

Kick it

United we'll fail
Divided, we'll fall
United, we'll fail
We're fucked, but you're making it worse

Middle fingers up if you don't give a f*ck
I've seen the devil swallowing
Every single thing I've said.
Middle fingers up if you don't give a f*ck
You think you're changing anything?
Quit saying anything.
Middle fingers up if you don't give a f*ck
I've seen the devil swallowing
Every single thing I've said.
Middle fingers up if you don't give a f*ck
You think you're changing anything?
Quit saying anything
