Lyrics Julian Casablancas – AlieNNatioN

In the land of the free-er
Evidence, it’s no use

I’ve been bathing in the blood of our success
I guess it is just the stubborn side of man

How could you say
Murder in the name of national security
Yo no sé
They say murder in the name of national security

But there’s silence in the way
But there’s silence in the way

Evidence there’s no use
This is just the life that’s been chosen for me
Yeah, well

I’ve been sipping on the blood of sweet success
Before history punishes us for it
You wanna see what, people are really like?
Watch them light a torch
Understanding ends this game

How could it be
Murder in the name of officer security
Yo no sé
They say murder in the name of officer security

If I was batting I’d be right behind ya
It’s not the first time, that I’ve been lied to
All wordz are made up, before I was born
My friend the walls say only they’ll keep me warm

You know it, lies are comforting
Bye-bye, bye-bye

You know it all, obliviousness
I’ll leave it in my dreams, my dreams

You know it on my own
Sitting down right here
Do do do do do do

I wanted it
Murder in the name of personal security
Yo no sé
Yes I’m going out tonite just don’t wanna be fooled again

(We all) play those mind games and we stay unaware

Not angels, not fiends
But just human beings

Work so hard to make them a vague memory
In the mind of a collective group of strangers
Leaving all my melodies behind
