Letra de Disparity by Design - Rise Against

All the way at the bottom
of the barrels we cry out
so ashamed of our tears that
we blame only ourselves
That's when they win
they keep us convinced
to lift upours chins
these playing fields are level
We all have a chance
with that they dismiss
the fast lanes they row
what it takes, it depends on who you know
or where you came from
Who's daugther are you?
who's fortunate son
we're told, to stick out our thumbs
they feast from the linens
how we settled for crumbs
Is this an over-reaching arm
or is this compassion?
is this a handout underserved
or a just reparation?
(a just reparation?)
All the way from the towers
high above glass celing tombs
tell themselves
that they've earned this
by working hard
And playing by the rules
But this is only Part-true
a dangerous trick
played on me & you
and so like a practical joke

We pulled on these bootstraps
so hard that they broke
Is this an over-reaching arm
or is this compassion?
is this a handout underserved
or a just reparation?
And like a single domino
that falls while the rest stay verticle
we'll fear these empty fairy tales
or will you believe them?
And if there's a God
you better pray
That this sleeping giant never wakes
and if we just took a step back
a bigger picture we might view
perhaps the man in the gutter
Is not so different form you
Come in, out of the cold
forget all that you know
because there's always been room
by the fire for you
Ohh, come in, out of the cold
Wiil you believe them?
Is this an over-reaching arm
or is this compassion?
is this a handout underserved
or a just reparation
And like a single domino
that falls while the rest stay verticle
we'll fear these empty fairy tales
and i'm through believing
