LorD and Master - Modus Operandi Lyrics

Archduke Franz Ferdinand
Never knew what was to follow
How can we be certain that the world
Will be here tomorrow
The irony that liberty
Means limiting the rights of another
Just tell me is that the mouth
With which you kiss your mother
Left or right, why must we fight
Why must we do it hour by hour
Each side sets its sights
On ultimate power
We waited a long time
We waited for ever
Wanting to see your behaviour
We waited a long time
But never say never
Now we know you’re not
Our saviour
Peddling social injustice
Engage politically
With tax-exempt institutions
A state that claims to be religiously free
Donations come pouring in
The dollars come in handy
To sway those followers
Blind to your modus operandi
Left or right, why must we fight
Why must we do it hour by hour
Each side sets its sights
On ultimate power
We waited a long time
We waited for ever
Wanting to see your behaviour
We waited a long time
But never say never
Now we know you’re not
Our saviour
We waited a long time
We waited for ever
Wanting to see your behaviour
We waited a long time
But never say never
Now we know you’re not
Our saviour
