[Verse 1]
Shattered to the bone
Burnt like the witch
One can't be destroyed
If the other can't exist

Picked like the scab
Scratched from the itch
Grinning ear to ear
Sing a song, dig a ditch

We knew this day would come
Prayed it'd go away
All the empty promise
Are all about to break

Inherited the stain
Generations plagued
Leave it to the children
We turn old to grey

[Chorus]
You, yes you
Pick and choose what you believe
You, yes you
Aren't the cure, you're the disease
[Verse 2]
Dashed
Dashed upon the rocks
Bleeding on the edge
Every hope, every dream
Withered from neglect
Remains of our souls
Illusions of control
Only lies
Only lies
Ever told

A pox upon the world
But this time it's not rats
It's the greedy corporate pigs
Taking ninety-nine percent
Rise against our interests
Cancel all the facts
Leave it to the children
Leave it to the children
Leave it to the children

[Chorus]
You, yes you
Pick and choose what you believe
You, yes you
Aren't the cure, you're the disease
[Bridge]
Too late to change our minds
Too late to stay the tide
Too late, all prayers unheard
Too late, to dust return
Too late, can't be undone
Too late, our kingdom's come

[Chorus]
You, yes you
Pick and choose what you believe
You, yes you
Aren't the cure, you're the disease
You, yes you
Pick and choose what you believe
You, yes you
Aren't the cure, you're the disease
