All hail, the jester has landed
In fly-over country, he sings
Charmed like a snake in a basket
Curled up and ready to spring
Raising a cross just to burn it
The clergy selling their souls
Clearing a path, ignoring facts, intoxicated by the throne
We'll be standing here holding
Our ground, come what may
Like a ghost haunts from beyond the grave
Welcome to the breakdown
Welcome to the end of the road
This is a breakdown
We've got nowhere else to go
When we all go deaf from the chamber of echoes
Cheering the missile parade
When we let the banks rob the people
Together we'll circle the drain
We'll be standing here holding
Our ground come what may
Like a ghost haunts from beyond the grave
Welcome to the breakdown
Welcome to the end of the road
This is a breakdown
We've got nowhere else to go
Welcome to the breakdown
Welcome to the end of the road
This is a breakdown
We've got nowhere else to go
It's a game, you've been played
It's a flock, you're the sheep
It's a pied-piper song
That has lulled you to sleep
It's a lie that you fell for
Hook line and sinker
A hand that you shook and then gave you the finger
A fraud and a fake
A cowardly king
A lie to your face but you still kiss the ring
This is the breakdown
This is the breakdown
This is the breakdown
Standing here holding
Our ground, come what may
Like a ghost haunts from beyond the grave
Welcome to the breakdown
Welcome to the end of the road
This is a breakdown
We've got nowhere else to go
Welcome to the breakdown
Welcome to the end of the road
This is a breakdown
We've got nowhere else to go
It's not much but this is our home
And there's nowhere else left to go
