Suppression!
Losing all patience, I’m calling you out
Tasting the bitterness you left in my mouth
Wasting my time and taking it back
Let you go too long, riding the wrong track
Oh, oh
Losing all patience
I’ve been running but I can’t no longer
I’ve been struggling while you get stronger
Take it all but you won’t get this greatness I’m containing
I can’t be suppressed
I’ve been running but I can’t get weaker
I’ve been struggling to hear you speak up
Take it all but you won’t get this greatness I’m containing
I can’t be suppressed
Suppression!
I can't be suppressed
Suppression!
The war was over, but they didn’t learn they lesson
Twin tactics of control, reform and repression
The patriotic fervor of war had been invoked
That’s why the country that you live in is a fuckin' joke!
I’ve been running but I can’t no longer
I’ve been struggling while you get stronger
Take it all but you won’t get this greatness I’m containing
I can’t be suppressed
I’ve been running but I can’t get weaker
I’ve been struggling to hear you speak up
Take it all but you won’t get this greatness I’m containing
I can’t be suppressed
The twentieth century opened, anger re-emerged
Reality of ordinary life was bein' heard
Anarchists and feminists came from factory work
Communism, socialism, seemed to be re-birthed
“War is the health of the state” is what Bourne said
Suppression!
And if you was born around that time, you was born dead
Losing all patience
That’s why the country that you live in is a fuckin' joke!
Suppression!
I, I can’t spend another day
Looking for your ego lies, go lie
With another boring child just like
The war was over, but they didn’t learn they lesson
Twin tactics of control, reform and repression
The patriotic fervor of war had been invoked
That’s why the country that you live in is a fuckin' joke!
Oh, oh, ah, losing all patience
