Anti‐Flag - Fabled World Lyrics

We live in a fabled world
Of dreaming boys and wide-eyed girls
Where precious few get a fair start
These times can break you
These times can leave you torn apart

The story starts with genocide
Slavery, those terrorized
Families, cultures torn apart
This ugly truth only the start

And it's a white washed pact
The founding act, revolution or contract?
To subjugate, to torture, to abuse
For the few

We live in a fabled world
Of terror, day and night
All hidden in plain sight
We live in a fabled world
Where the poor and the weak
Are pawns for profit's sake

Lock up mass incarcerate
The new Jim Crow, the new slave trade
If Dr king were here today
He'd fight for much more than a dream
And you should go sign up, join the fight
The rich sleep while you kill tonight
Love thy enemy as yourself
As you carpet bomb him to hell

We live in a fabled world
Of terror, day and night
All hidden in plain sight
We live in a fabled world
Where the poor and the weak
Are pawns for profit's sake

We live in a fabled world
A corpocratic killing field
Where fascist profit's are a lock
These times can break you
These times can leave you torn apart

We live in a fabled world
Of terror, day and night
All hidden in plain sight
We live in a fabled world
Where the poor and the weak
Are pawns for profit's sake

We live in a fabled world
We live in a fabled world
These times can break you
These times can leave you torn apart
