The Side Effects

One step forward, two steps backwards
Saving culture, killing art
You want borders, we just want a bridge
This is modern warfare, freedom in a ditch
Will you ever bother listening?

Made in the land of the rising sun
Decade in the rain, proving who we are
Still under fire for the things we love
(Hey, just listen)

We are the side effects
A product of love, a product of hate
We are the side effects
A product of heart, but make no mistake
No one asked for your love
No one asked for your hate
So we ask from the heart
Before it's too late, just let us be us

One step forward, two steps backwards
Saving culture, killing art
You want order, we just want to live
Endless civil warfare, something's got to give
Can we start this over rational?

Made in the land of the rising sun
Decade in the rain, proving who we are
Still under fire for the things we love
(Hey, just listen)

We are the side effects
A product of love, a product of hate
We are the side effects
A product of heart, but make no mistake
No one asked for your love
No one asked for your hate
So we ask from the heart
Before it's too late, just let us be us (us, us)

Made in the land of the rising sun
Decade in the rain, proving who we are
Still under fire for the things we love
But it's time you listen

We are the side effects
A product of love, a product of hate
We are the side effects
A product of heart, but make no mistake
No one asked for your love
No one asked for your hate
So we ask from the heart
Before it's too late, just let us be us
