These bastards stole their power from the victims of the Us v.
|
Them years, wrecking all things virtuous and true.
|
The undermining social democratic downhill slide into abysmal
|
Lost lamb off the precipice into the trickle down runoff pool.
|
|
They hypnotized the summer, Nineteen seventy-nine.
|
Marched into the capital brooding duplicitous, wicked and able, media-ready,
|
Heartless, and labeled. Super U.S. citizen, super achiever, mega ultra power dosing. Relax.
|
Defense, defense, defense, defense. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Ignoreland. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Ignoreland. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
|
|
The information nation took their clues from all the sound-bite gluttons.
|
Nineteen eighty, eighty-four, eighty-eight, ninety-two too, too.
|
How to be what you can be, jump jam junking your energies.
|
How to walk in dignity with throw-up on your shoes
|
|
They amplified the autumn, nineteen seventy-nine.
|
Calculate the capital, up the republic my skinny ass.
|
TV tells a million lies. The paper's terrified to report
|
Anything that isn't handed on a presidential spoon,
|
I'm just profoundly frustrated by all this. So, fuck you, man. (Fuck 'em)
|
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Ignoreland. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Ignoreland.
|
If they weren't there we would have created them. Maybe, it's true,
|
But I'm resentful all the same. Someone's got to take the blame.
|
I know that this is vitriol. No solution, spleen-venting,
|
But I feel better having screamed. Don't you?
|
|
They desecrated winter, nineteen seventy-nine.
|
Capital collateral. Brooding duplicitous, wicked and able, media-ready,
|
Heartless, and labeled. Super U.S. citizen, super achiever, mega ultra power dosing. Relax.
|
Defense, defense, defense, defense. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Ignoreland. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Ignoreland.
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Ignoreland. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
