lyrics
Sometimes victory is the same as the defeat
We were good as married in the back seat
It wasn't real life, it was just Halloween
Hard to tell the difference
Keep your mask up on the nearest shelf
Just need a night to feel like someone else
Like you got a secret you could never tell
Don't have to make sense
Play dead, it ain't worth the fight
Play dead, just for tonight
It's just another day for the Holocaust
I see we picked it up right where we left off
They're shooting up the street, they hit the synagogue
Looks like we're next
Pipe bombs and false flag conspiracy
I'll probably die just buying some groceries
The headline ain't enough to know the story
Gotta read the rest
Play dead, it ain't worth the fight
Play dead, just for tonight
Play dead, it ain't worth the fight
Play dead, just for tonight
We were good as married in the back seat
It wasn't real life, it was just Halloween
Hard to tell the difference
Keep your mask up on the nearest shelf
Just need a night to feel like someone else
Like you got a secret you could never tell
Don't have to make sense
Play dead, it ain't worth the fight
Play dead, just for tonight
It's just another day for the Holocaust
I see we picked it up right where we left off
They're shooting up the street, they hit the synagogue
Looks like we're next
Pipe bombs and false flag conspiracy
I'll probably die just buying some groceries
The headline ain't enough to know the story
Gotta read the rest
Play dead, it ain't worth the fight
Play dead, just for tonight
Play dead, it ain't worth the fight
Play dead, just for tonight
