Lyrics

The house is unguarded, devil’s in the easy chair
Slipped in uninvited, like we were caught unaware
But we all saw it coming, and now we’re hiding behind
Our hunger for winning fed by the ties that blind

We’re in this together, a country divided in three
Between the haves and the have nots, and the ones who can’t see
That honor and glory come to those seeking to find
Respect for each other, more than the ties that blind

We all double-crossed the true vision we lost chasing ideologies
There’s no majesty in refusing to see the forest for the trees

We’re losing the moment and we haven’t even started yet
We can’t choose a leader without playing Russian roulette
The camps were divided when the Declaration was signed
But they sought higher purpose over the ties that blind

We all double-crossed the true vision we lost chasing ideologies
There’s no majesty in refusing to see the forest for the trees

If freedom’s light which we’ve defined
Should fade from our future, blame the ties that blind
