When the bit pulls tight

The grip is sewn into the reins

Can't breathe it out

You'll just breathe it back again

You mental-pack your chambers full

For no reason you can name

A boil-in-bag blood supply

You know it's murder on the veins

Don't you feel it now?

Viva viva viva life and limb

Viva viva viva threatening

Hey -- we want our violence doubled

(No, but really in a loving way)

Hey -- we want our violence doubled

(No, but really want it right away)

The national temper

You know it's written on your face

Etched and scratched and mirrored back

Don't you know it's all the rage

Don't you feel it now?
