"House Of Cards" lyrics - LEFTOVER SALMON

Will these be the days we remember back before
We lost control of our country, the big money, and the dogs of war
"We should've seen it coming" when their first words out the door
Were trash the air and the water, we don't need them anymore

Elections stolen, the networks toe the line
It seemed like business as usual, not many called it a crime
All the pawns in place, they weren't wasting time
But out here in the streets, people marching, singing, carrying signs

[Chorus 1:]
Singing oh this is not normal and this has got to end
This is not who we are, love is gonna win again

Big corporations are telling us what to do
It's oil, money, and weapons, they don't care about you
But we see what they're doing, not everybody's confused
Gaslighting down this dead-end street, singing these US Blues

Surrealist newscasts are streaming every night
I can't help feeling, something, well it just ain't right
We're taking ten steps backwards and fifty steps to the side
But our truth ain't fiction, we won't live a lie

[Chorus 2:]
Foxes in a hen house, dog's outta the yard
Fences all collapsing here, in this house of cards

How'd we get here my brother, how does the story end
With idiocracy rising, how do we come back again
Back into a future, we're all believing in
Where everybody matters, love's gotta win again

[Chorus 1:]
Saying oh this is not normal, this has got to end
This is not who we are, Love is gonna win again
Saying oh this is not normal, this has got to end
This is not who we are, Love is gonna win again

[Outro:]
Love is gonna win again
Love is gonna win again
