Select language to translate this lyric
Just because you donât speak the language
Doesnât mean that you canât understand
Just because you donât speak the language
Doesnât mean that you canât understand
The twist in the script of the insult
Scrawled on the back of your hand
Torn from the pages of scripture
Sprayed on the wall in the frays of a flag
Kisses forbidden on lips
And all of your fine clothes worn into rags
Tripwire, tripwire, tripwire, tripwire
Thereâs a tripwire
Tripwire, tripwire, tripwire
Donât open the door âcos theyâre coming
Donât open the door âcos theyâre here
Above thereâs an ominous humming
Below thereâs a murmur of prayer
Torn from the pages of scandal
Sprayed on a wall in the frays of the flag
Kisses forbidden on lips
and all of your fine clothes blown into rags
Tripwire, tripwire, tripwire, tripwire
Thereâs a tripwire
Tripwire, tripwire, tripwire
Thereâs a cross in the line thereâs a circus
Thereâs a voice that you might overhear
Thereâs a lens making the picture perfect
They say you have nothing to fear
Torn from the pages of pamphlets
Thrown in the air like confetti in church
Far, far away thereâs a target
and the sound of an army just starting to march
Tripwire, tripwire, tripwire, tripwire
Thereâs a tripwire
Tripwire, tripwire, tripwire
Just because I donât read the language
Doesnât mean that I'm blind to the threat
Though I thought there was more to forgiveness
Than all we conveniently forget
Torn from the pages of history
Repeated again and again and again
Youâre either for or against us
and that is how the hatred begins
Tripwire, tripwire, tripwire, tripwire
Thereâs a tripwire
Tripwire, tripwire, tripwire
