lyrics

FIRST AMONG EQUALS / OUTERNATIONAL

There’s blood on the streets
And blood on your hands
The same blood thats in my veins
As the blood on the sand
If these words draw blood
The emperor is nude
His willing subjects naked
In their red, white and blue

You’re the first among equals
You’re one of a kind
The first among equals
Are the worst of all time

The crimes unseen and the crimes uncovered
Tens of millions of children
All their fathers and mothers
There is no limit to the crimes you’ve done
Your days are numbered, you are second to none

You’re the first among equals
You’re one of a kind
The first among equals
Are the worst of all time
You’re the first among equals
You’re one of a kind
The first among equals
Are the worst of all time

You stop me, you frisk me
Want to sign me up and enlist me
Package me up to double me down
Lock me up where there isn’t a sound
How many slaves and how many dead?
How everything’s made, how your country is fed
I said what I said, I meant what I wrote
You’ll put a gun to my head and a knife in my throat
I hear the last gasp of a dying empire
I smell the smoke afar from the funeral pyres

You’re the first among equals
You’re one of a kind
The first among equals
Are the worst of all time
