lyrics

Pledge be to the
ego with an ID
virus with an IV
MD on the TV
lizard in the ivy
- league with an elite
rank among the fleet
directing directly
behind the scenes
for the
creature with an atom bomb
rigging the republic
democratic circus
servicing the public
vices, wars and sodas
volunteering young ones
drafted off as commerce
camouflaging coffins
solider stocking stuffers
the holiday is among us
company attention
costumers in costume
commissioning platoons
flying troops as balloons
two by two
two by two
rendezvous
to the tomb
deja vu
thought you knew
they poster schools
to pilfer fools
just like you
please rise for which it stands
among the scholomance
wise up
tune in
drop out
wake up
remember not
what you've seen
life is not what it seems
right now
just then
and again they beseech
conditioning the mind
is the body that they beat
hatred does not cease by hatred
but only by death
now they wage their wars
on the wicked world
now that the gods have left us
in the crossroads
betting on belief
insured in the crossfire
from sea to shining sea
there's an eagle with an eye on you
free from
where the olives and arrows bloom
over and out of many tombs
engraved I.O.U
oh say can you see
currency
gallantly mainstreaming
bombs bursting
on air and all this just in time
for the dawns early light enterprise
of the creature with an atom bomb
serving swine in restaurants
banking on the living stock
cashing crops
block by block
one by one
bylines read
freedom at a fee
see
it’s students sporting slogans
and concussions
stabbing fun into their normal
boarding buses full of boredom
didn't tell them
that they tote them
to where the totem poll is social
the culture shocks local
they feed your ego
but you know nothing
of the creature with an atom bomb
