lyrics

We were howling at the moon before you came
A primal glimmer of the first superstition 
We were praying to the sun when you were born
A desperate lifeline in a sea of confusion 
We were writing on the walls when you were young
An early monument to cult and tradition 
We strung you up for thinking outside the circles
Better to die than speak a dangerous truth, so
 



Get up off the ground
Dust off your dirty knees, boy 
You’ve been acting like a slave 

Get up off the ground
Dust off your dirty knees, boy 
They’ll kneel you straight into the grave 
 
 


We were making up the rules when you were grown
Laying foundations for a grim institution 

We were buying up the world before you left
Reaping the profits of pious indignation 

We were lighting up the fires when you were gone
Burning the twinkle from the eyes of invention 

Now here we are, the thought police
Our dirty knees'll save us from the burden of truth, so
 


Get up off the ground
Dust off your dirty knees, boy 
You’ve been acting like a slave 
Get up off the ground
Dust off your dirty knees, boy 
They’ll kneel you straight into the grave 
 



Dust off your dirty knees
No master here to please 

No need to justify what nobody else can see 

When judgement only burns in the minds of the diseased 

The time has come to get up
and dust off your dirty knees 
 


Get up off the ground
Dust off your dirty knees, boy 
You’ve been acting like a slave 

Get up off the ground
Dust off your dirty knees, boy 
They’ll kneel you straight into the grave  
 
Dust off your dirty knees
No master here to please 
No need to justify what nobody else can see 
Dust off your dirty knees

Drawing inspiration from artists such as Chevelle, Tool, QOTSA, and Pendulum, Signal Static combines hard rock, punk, and alternative with elements of metal, grunge and electronic music to create an intensely fresh and emotionally compelling sound.
