lyrics

Pull the stakes out now, boys
The higher they get, the more they pin you to the ground
Abandon all your factories
We're here to free you from the royalty that runs this town
Though they won't soon forget who runs it now
Come run away and join the circus
It's time to hurt the ones that hurt us

Don't pull the trigger just yet, boys
If they're willing to beg then we can give them what they want
"Just a little bit more time," they cry
That's fine 'cause when they see the show we've got in store
They'll be regretting what they're wishing for
"Let us go, you don't know who you terrorize
I own all of the downtown assembly lines"
That a fact? How about that
Got a bigshot in a death trap
Like throwing stolen wages at the cage will save you, ha ha!

Where do you think he found us?
And where do you think he found us?
And where do you think he found us?
And where do you think he found us?

Seems the giant just woke boys
We're his claws in the dirt, so keep your ears down to the ground
The clapping hands and stomping feet
The drums, the heartbeat of the skeleton of stone and steel
They sought to sacrifice this holy meal
But if you offer up a body and extinguish all the bright lights
Make sure that when the clouds clear up you're standing on the right side

We are the gods that found it
And we are the gods that found it

Now we'll be the ones to judge you
You bargain utter lunacy
Your wealth buys you no sympathy
We'll be the ones to judge you
A pitchfork for the devils who have fallen from the ivory

Fallen from the ivory
Where do you think he found us?
Where do you think he found us?

A pitchfork for the devils who have fallen from the ivory
