Crooked Minds Lyrics


Crooked minds have gone astray
Have they never learned from yesterday?
Only a fool would wear the crown
One day the kids will tear it downYeahCan't you see the clocks are ticking away?
They try to fit more hours into the day
To see that you was crunching numbers away
We're running out breath just to keep up the paceAnd when did the revolver start the race?
When did the revolver start the race?Accelerated architecture creates
a manufactured lifestyle for the deranged
They swallow up the green and build up the gray
And like tomorrows kids, dispose of todayAnd when d'you think the roots will buy them out?
When d'you think the roots will buy them out?Crooked minds under gray skies
They can't live 'til something dies
(the kids will tear it down)
'til something dies
(the kids will tear it down)Crooked minds ain't satisfied
'til the ground touches the sky
(the kids will tear it down)

touches the sky
(the kids will tear it down)Cemetery statue stare into space
sucked into a social media craze
They're looking for an answer to explain
the reason why disaster strikes againA picture perfect family sits by the lake
swimming in a sea of mechanical waste
And can't they see a tragedy awaits?
Can't they see a tragedy awaits?Crooked minds under gray skies
They can't live 'til something dies
(the kids will tear it down)
'til something dies
(the kids will tear it down)Crooked minds ain't satisfied
'til the ground touches the sky
(the kids will tear it down)
touches the sky
(the kids will tear it down)We'll tear it downCauterize these butchered eyes
Tangled in their power lines
Tear the ground up with their lives
Raise the caskets in the sky
Someday soon they'll realise
Nothing's left for you and I
Nothing's left for you and ICrooked minds have gone astray
Have they never learned from yesterday?
Only a fool would wear the crown
One day the kids will tear it downCrooked minds under gray skies
They can't live 'til something dies
(the kids will tear it down)
'til something dies
(the kids will tear it down)Crooked minds ain't satisfied
'til the ground touches the sky
(the kids will tear it down)
touches the sky
(the kids will tear it down)Cauterize these butchered eyes
Tangled in their power lines
Tear the ground up with their lives
Raise the caskets in the sky
Someday soon we'll realise
Nothing lives 'til something dies
(the kids will tear it down)
'til something dies
(the kids will tear it down)
'til something dies

Billy Talent is a Juno Award-winning Canadian rock band formed in 1993. They performed and recorded together for about a decade before finding a wide mainstream following. Originally called Pezz, the group originates from Streetsville, in Mississauga, Ontario, but now hail from Toronto, Ontario.

The name is inspired by a character named "Billy Tallent" in the 1993 book "Hard Core Logo" by Michael Turner (filmed in 1996) and it has been the name of the band since 2001, after a dispute with the American Pezz.

To date, the band have released five studio albums, the first under the name Pezz named "Watoosh!", the second under the Billy Talent name is called "Billy Talent" with the third called "Billy Talent II". The fourth album,"Billy Talent III", released in 2009, was produced by Brendan O'Brien, who previously worked with AC/DC, Rage Against the Machine, Pearl Jam and The Offspring, among others.
The fifth album called "Dead Silence" was released in september 2012.

Billy Talent have also released a live DVD/CD, "666" featuring live performances from London, Dusseldorf, and the Rock Am Ring festival, held at the Nürburgring in Germany. They have also released two live albums from London and Manchester in September of 2006, of which only 500 of each exist.

Drummer Aaron Solowoniuk revealed that the song "This Is How It Goes" was written for him by Ben with the subject being Aaron's struggle with multiple sclerosis, in an open letter to fans posted on the official website in March 2006. As a sign of the dedication to finding a cure for MS, the band hold an annual show in Canada named "F.U.MS" in which all funds go towards the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada.
