Class of 86 - Proteus Effect Lyrics

Where'd you get that line?
The one disguised as age old wisdom
It certainly has guile
Recited with a smile
But just beyond that sardonic veneer
Set by fear
Lies a mind so overcome
A heart devoid of love
You know what you meant
Don't mince your words
So callous and so cold
Don't act so innocent
May every weapon you forge with your tonge
Bite you when the tables turn
It sounds so cliche, what I'm about to say
But it bears repeating anyway
Your fear is just self loathing you're unwilling to face
It's not because you're weak
You could see the truth if you really wanted to
Don't shed crocodile tears while preying on people's fears
Just because you're afraid to hear
That the world's not like it one was
A simpler time when you and yours
Had it good while others suffered
Now you're scared they'll pull you under
You've got nerve, nay gall, saying shit like that
From the comfort of your home
Don't act like you didn't
Others rail, they rave, they piss, they rant
For better lives for all
You're just a f*cking bigot
