Lyrics
Intro
Turn it up
I want to hear what they're calling peace
Verse 1
A man at a podium pounds his fist
The front row stands on cue
A general smiles for the cameras
While the tanks roll into view
The anchors clean up every word
Put numbers on the dead
Someone sells the border twice
With a handshake and a pen
Pre-Chorus
Keep the gas cheap
Keep the market high
Don't ask where the bodies went
Just wave when he drives by
Chorus
We handed him the keys
We paid to build the door
We sold our souls to the devil
Then asked him what he wanted more
Now the ceiling's coming down
Plaster in our teeth
We handed him the keys
And called it keeping peace
Verse 2
He locks the courts by Friday
Owns the stations by July
The names go missing from the ballots
The prisons multiply
He says the old rules made us weak
He says the world needs men like him
We clap because the room is watching
And the exits all look dim
Pre-Chorus
Keep the trucks full
Keep the cameras fed
If the contract clears by morning
Don't count the missing heads
Chorus
We handed him the keys
We paid to build the door
We sold our souls to the devil
Then asked him what he wanted more
Now the ceiling's coming down
Plaster in our teeth
We handed him the keys
And called it keeping peace
Instrumental
Bridge
I watched the numbers climb
I liked what they did for me
A little green arrow on a screen
A city on its knees
I said, "It's far away"
I said, "It isn't mine"
Then his boots crossed one more border
And my flag went up outside
Breakdown
Sign here
Initial there
Look away
It's only business
Sign here
Initial there
Look away
Until he comes for us
Final Chorus
We handed him the keys
We paid to build the door
We sold our souls to the devil
He doesn't need them anymore
The ceiling's coming down
The table split beneath
We handed him the keys
And called it keeping peace
I handed him the keys
I liked the price at first
Now every deal we made with him
Comes home in a hearse
Outro
Turn it off
I can still hear him speak
Turn it off
We handed him the keys
