Crooked Minds - Billy Talent

Crooked minds have gone astray

Have they never learned from yesterday?

Only a fool would wear the crown

One day the kids will tear it down

Yeah

Can’t you see the clocks are ticking away?

They try to fit more hours into the day

To see that you was crunching numbers away

We’re running out breath just to keep up the pace

And when did the revolver start the race?

When did the revolver start the race?

Accelerated architecture creates

A manufactured lifestyle for the deranged

They swallow up the green and build up the gray

And let tomorrow’s kids dispose of today

And when do you think the roof will bottom out?

When do you think the roof will bottom out?

Crooked minds under gray skies

They can’t live 'till something dies (The kids will tear it down)

'Till something dies (The kids will tear it down)

Crooked minds ain’t satisfied

'Till the ground touches the sky (The kids will tear it down)

Touches the sky (The kids will tear it down)

Cemetery statue stare into space

Sucked into a social media craze

They’re looking for an answer to explain

The reason why disaster strikes again

A picture perfect family sits at the lake

Swimming in a sea of mechanical waste

And can’t they see a tragedy awaits?

Can’t they see a tragedy awaits?

Crooked minds under gray skies

They can’t live 'till something dies (The kids will tear it down)

'Till something dies (The kids will tear it down)

Crooked minds ain’t satisfied

'Till the ground touches the sky (The kids will tear it down)

Touches the sky (The kids will tear it down)

We’ll tear it down

Cauterize these blood-shot eyes

Tangled in their power lines

Tear the ground up with their lives

Raise the caskets in the sky

Someday soon we’ll realise

Nothing’s left for you and I

Nothing’s left for you and I

Crooked minds have gone astray

Have they never learned from yesterday?

Only a fool would wear the crown

One day the kids will tear it down

Crooked minds under gray skies

They can’t live 'till something dies (The kids will tear it down)

'Till something dies (The kids will tear it down)

Crooked minds ain’t satisfied

'Till the ground touches the sky (The kids will tear it down)

Touches the sky (The kids will tear it down)

Cauterize these butchered eyes

Tangled in their power lines

Tear the ground up with their lives

Raise the caskets in the sky

Someday soon we’ll realise

Nothing lives 'till something dies (The kids will tear it down)

'Till something dies (The kids will tear it down)

'Till something dies
