bless this country, oh Lord, whitewash and capitalize
pray for corporate mergers which strategically divide us
fistfuck a maggoty hole through the staggering and arthritic
pop a pill, strap on your boots and just shut up and listen
dont ever let your guard down when the vultures circle above
direct conversations aren’t even allowed anymore
log on, they must crystalize your appointment with the hangman
lethargic marrionettes skip to absurd laugh tracks
my belt`s way to big yet my hands are calloused
to even whisper about fundamental rights gets your commie ass flagged
no fly, grounded, imprisoned just for being a person
even in economic upswings they only hire cogs
the old Red Scare has never faded, much like a virus it evolved
so be quick and report deviance
artists, poets, bohemians, all slumming it with clipped wings
they bomb our expressions and kill our messengers
but they lit a slow burning fuse
so dont be surprised when wall street suits are curbstomped
and in the feathery mess of bullet ridden vultures one will ask for forgiveness
sorry pal, white Jesus is away and hes never coming back
