Anthrax
Vice of the People
[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
Spare me your tales of virtue, morals and good deeds
And honor those things
Not wanting to know what is true
Fate burns for you
So onto others due
[Pre-Chorus]
Making a choice, crossing a line
It's only a matter of time that's driving you
And forcing your will, kids are to kill
The second you started to think you were guilty
Making a choice, crossing a line
It's only a matter of time that's pushing
Never content, get off the fence
Taking you right to the brink, it's falling straight down
[Chorus]
Do you solemnly swear to use your powers for evil?
Only then can you be the vice of the people
[Verse 2]
For two millennia you filled your base as thieves
Electron to the breed
There's no story so good, your lies won't make it better
And your Adam is deader
[Pre-Chorus]
Making a choice, crossing a line
It's only a matter of time that's driving you
And forcing your will, kids are to kill
The second you started to think you were guilty
Making a choice, crossing a line
It's only a matter of time that's pushing
Never content, get off the fence
Taking you right to the brink, it's falling straight down
[Chorus]
Do you solemnly swear to use your powers for evil?
Only then can you be the vice of the people
Idiots killing the truth, such a glorious fable
It's easy to believe, to be the vice of the people
Vice of the people, vice of the people, vice of the people
[Bridge]
Do you solemnly swear to use your powers for evil?
Only then can you be the vice of the people
The vice of the people, vice of the people
The f**king, f**king, f**king
[Instrumental Solo]
[Chorus]
Do you solemnly swear to use your powers for evil?
Only then can you be the vice of the people
Idiots killing the truth, such a glorious fable
It's easy to believe, to be the vice of the people
Vice of the people
Do you solemnly swear to use your powers for evil?
Only then can you be...
To be the vice of the people, vice of the people, vice of the people
