Song lyrics
Brave from afar when I hold you for country
Saved by a star, can I hold you to one thing?
Do you feel safe when they tell you?
They sell you
Pray for your children
The shelter they're building
Prime time, the perfect crime
Bow my head, the axe we grind
Ruse cruise, Ps and Qs
I got beat up by the evening news
Deep hits, the media blitz
Lost my mind to keep my wits
Maintain the same old same
Goodbye shiz and so long game
Brave from afar when I hold you for country
Saved by a star, can I hold you to one thing?
Do you feel safe when they tell you?
They sell you
Pray for your children
The shelter they're building
Plain Jane, the big campaign
Last detail has been restrained
Fraud, fraud, the lightening rod
See that sign, time to applaud
Brave from afar when I hold you for country
Saved by a star, can I hold you to one thing?
Do you feel safe when they tell you?
They sell you
Pray for your children
The shelter they're building
