By tooth and claw, by hook or crook Pretty covers on dirty books Through hazy nights and wasted days No sleep in the gutter, sleep in your grave The scum also rises Gasp for air, short of breath The bitter taste of dust and death Don’t want to know, ain’t gonna care Another dream been worn threadbare The scum also rises Scum - hated and despised Scum - there’s fear in your eyes Scum - when we start to rise Scum - no escape to night Scum - there’s no wrong or right Scum - set this town alight   Scum - this is our revenge Scum - watch you break and bend Scum - this will be your end Lift up your head, don’t turn away ‘Cause every dog gets just one day Grasp at straws, shoot out the lights The day won’t come, so  burn through the night The scum also rises

O, say can you see through this haze of deceit The roaring crowd, leaps to their feet The illusion complete Walk in your sleep, through nightmares unseen Lost in American dreams O’er the ramparts we watched As what we fought for was lost When victory means the same as defeat It comes at too high a cost For words our deaths come cheaply bought  But in flesh and blood they are wrought At the twilight’s last gleaming Shadows fall over the sleeping Who lie content in believing their dreaming Until we wake up screaming At the twilight’s last gleaming At the twilight’s last gleaming Banners draped over the sleeping Who lie deceased from believing their dreaming Until we wake from our grieving  At the twilight’s last gleaming O say can you see That you live on your knees Blindly led, through life and to death For a nominal fee I’ll live my life like a wolf among sheep And I will die on my feet At the twilight’s last gleaming Shadows fall over the sleeping Who lie content in believing their dreaming Until we wake up screaming At the twilight’s last gleaming At the twilight’s last gleaming Banners draped over the sleeping Who lie deceased from believing their dreaming Until we wake up grieving At the twilight’s last gleaming

Lines drawn in black and white Jackals spoil for a firefight In fear we trust to snuff out the light Tables turning from left to right In a scapegoat parade, you stand accused Against the grain of truth, without a shred of proof A self-righteous charade - to execute They need a scapegoat parade - to persecute It’s your neck on the blade, in a scapegoat parade Unbalanced scales will tip With just one fatal slip At your heels the jackals rip When white knuckles fail to grip In a scapegoat parade, you stand accused Against the grain of truth, without a shred of proof A self-righteous charade - to execute They need a scapegoat parade - to persecute It’s your neck on the blade, in a scapegoat parade Scapegoat - eyes in the back of your head Scapegoat - still only seeing red Scapegoat - with every step you tread Scapegoat - you might just wind up - dead Your word is null and void Reality gone paranoid The jackals, overjoyed Look on as you are destroyed In a scapegoat parade, you stand accused Against the grain of truth, without a shred of proof A self-righteous charade - to execute They need a scapegoat parade - to persecute It’s our necks on the blade, in a scapegoat parade
