Lyrics:

Spare the lives of our sons and daughters
Inject your guilt and go no further
By our hands we'll erase this
When in time we'll have to face this
Now is the time
Now is the place

Painted blood, painted skin, "Can you heal me?"
("If you can't then you never will.")
The salve will only bear repeatings
("What they gave you will never help you.")
Damaged me in ways you never knew
Brought you a pain that will never do
There was a time
There was a place

For your salvation
Your salvation
For your salvation

Inoculate to justify, celebrate this blackened slight
Science sells so you can tell me how to live within the fib
To propagate a bait and switch, violate your every wish
They tell you it's "in your best interest, so go along, we'll do no wrong."
Pontify, then strategize, to cover up unproven lies

For your salvation
Your salvation

They're poisoning this chrome within me and you
They're poisoning this chrome within me and you
For your salvation
They're poisoning this chrome within me and you
They're poisoning this chrome within me and you
