	Story Behind the Song This song was born out of an accident. While trying to record other guitar parts for various songs on the upcoming Guzzling Colors CD, I fumbled around with various songs and altered them little by little and then I just started playing this guitar part for no reason. It just so happened that I recorded the whole thing unknowingly. I went back and built on it for about a week until I was satisfied with the music. It took me about two days to get the original lyrics down, but they went through several changes over a month's time until they were "etched in stone" so to speak. The guitar took about two takes, bass and drums took one each, and vocals took about five. The only reason I sing on this track is because Holly didn't want to say "whore" and said it was too low for her, so I gave it a shot. I slightly alterted my singing voice for this song just to see if it sounded any better and it made me sound a little better than I normally do so, I kept it. Lyrics Self proclaimed paradigm of authority Trust our God, we are slaves to our history Break the noose 'round the neck of the innocent Tie it back 'round the neck of a pessismist Fall around on the ground of a battlefield Take a nap in the back of your riot shields Take a chance take a chance take a risk for me Take a pill for a thrill, live in apathy If you want we can bury our dreams We can look the other way Sit around take a look at the lives we live Taking more, caring less than we ever give Something must call to arms if there is no war Living in times of peace is a ratings whore Take a chance take a chance take a risk for me Take a pill for a thrill, live in apathy If you want we can bury our dreams if you want we can bury our dreams We can look the other way If you want we can cover our eyes 'cuz it seems like I've gone blind I will look the other way I will try to ignore the pain
