Did you read the news today, about the town of Lincoln?
They were told they'd have to pay for the crime of thinkin
Penalties imposed before the rot could sink in
I guess we've seen it all before
I guess we've seen it all
I guess we've seen it all

From the docks a lone voice came, and the judges listened:
"We will not play your games or accept your system"
"Have it your own way, but you will die in prison"
I guess we've seen it all before
I guess we've seen it all

I guess we've seen it all

Did you read the news today, about the town of Lincoln?
I guess we've seen it all before
They were told they'd have to pay for the crime of thinkin
I guess we've seen it all

With our backs against the walls and the clocks are tickin
I guess we've seen it all before
And as they left the court in chains, you could hear them say then:
"You're gonna see your cities fall
Your fuckin city fall
Your fuckin city fall
Your fuckin city fall
Your fucking city fall!"
