still called a war

lyrics

i swear that statue of our liberty is undressed
'cuz it's the year of yellow journalism excess
you gotta read between the lines for their message
I reckon everybody knows that they're trying to keep us guessing
better run us all down that's the president's suggestion 'cuz us
counterculture f[] keep getting in position
wipe us out, pull the plug, leave the worst of us alive
so you can always keep a trophy and tell your kids why
puppeteer their minds as you tuck them in with fiction
put these kids to sleep to lucid dream with Richard Nixon

Darwin probably guessed that you'd
domesticate the savages and
sold you all the ammo you could
hold and plenty bandages, huh?

[]

it's still called a war if you're armed to the teeth
it's still called a war when you die in your seat
it's still called a war if you're scared every day
it's still called a war when your scars don't fade

spectacular oracle framing the question
without your suggestions for posturing
development of the elements

digging up offices lost in the fall of
america's very own Babylon
tower of babel 9-to-5 off the wall

false prophet babbling black mold on to your
happy meal as soon as you seal the deal to
steal for the devil

to peel back your skin and reveal
teal alien scale forced to blissfully kneel to the
ugliest god you believe is real it's

just your friendly neighborhood white man
ignore the dead bodies in his garbage can
