Drones from NAM/VET by NAM/VET

hunt or kill says the wand'ring eye
cut the scene left to right
catalog every face in sight
all day, (and) all night

thousands strong pollute the sky
like a carcass laden with flies
choking out the air they dive
as they emerge from the hive

dissect slice by slice
with that cold inscrutable knife
what's left of a life
with every private thought excised

and we're up to our necks
always choking on the next wave
always chasing that next high
with a round of buy buy buy

can't help but play the fool though
powerless, morale is too low
isolated and afraid
every day is judgment day

every day is like our last
always clinging to the past (to)
some forgotten ideal
that was never quite real

no rest for the ill
no time to stand still
someone's always on our back
always choking on the lack

day light next to night
sinking thoughts every night
sinking feeling say its alright
burning out burning out my sight

i reside in a sea of light
i reside in ever night
i just sigh to set it right
burn it all burn it through the night

up at home all alone
nobody breaking up the dial tone
a violent pounding at the door
drone is eyeing up a war

mark 3 staring at me
cut the lights and try to flee
lookin dead on infrared
hit the lights and get outta my head

cut it close as it cuts through the air
stringing strands of torn out hair
injecting death and ecstasy
mark 3 took a shot at me

and i see it on the right
trying to get in on my good side
trying to fit me for a death's head
trying to get me to wake unto death

crawling back climbing up my leg
quick shot to the side of the head
temple wrecked half disconnect
blinded by a quick defect

tip tip tip toeing now
i'm running silent and i got him now
kabuki stealth, now harsh and shrill
take him down with a demo drill

hold it up hold em still
yea we're going for the kill
giddy when he shakes
zeroed out as it quakes

sirens call the flashing lights
unit down in the heights
sounding drones come to kill
on a phony terror drill

time to flee can't stay
underground the only way
gonna nix your wasted life
you're a walking bullseye

fearful of their cruel might
(a) glass jaw well in sight
we've only got to strike
cause courage kills the reich

do or die time to try
time to drop them like flies
EMP is gonna break the spell
cut em back from the crown of hell

all chaos radio
you walk around to the dial tone
left left left of the dial
you walk around with a broken smile

calling chaos radio
monolith in stereo
what was once all might and sprawl
has its back against the wall

all static radio
deafening is the dial tone
what's left left of the drones
little more than metal bones

you can see by the strife that i'm bringing down the light
you can see by the strife that i'm bringing down the light
you can see by the strife that i'm bringing down the light
right right right?!
