lyrics

Silly dreams in a vibrant scene
singing songs penetrating our youth
Black-and-white is so vain and trite
when you're so far away from the truth

Glory days in a violent haze
stomping out any sense of dissent
Stealing souls, try to fill a hole
don't you hate how your whole life is spent?

You've got no authority
You've got nothing that we need
You've got no authority
Your laws mean no goddamn thing

People quit and it feels like shit
going out to a discarded room
Good times end when I've got no friends
feeling lost, 'cause it ended so soon

But build it back, cause a heart attack
because success is the best revenge
laugh and play, it's another day
your disease is a start not an end

You've got no authority
You've got nothing that we need
You've got no authority
Your laws mean no goddamn thing

I'm wishing you the best
in a well earned, timely death
I'm wishing you the best
in a well earned, timely death
I'm wishing you the best
in a well earned, timely death
I'm wishing you the best
in a well earned, timely death

You've got no authority
