lyrics

we bomb more civilians than we save
all women and children are pawns in play
we clear another board, cia installs a king
killing the will of the people for a corporate sting
eggs in the head of each dead hero of the region
devil in the bank deals, masked capital, a lousy legion
millions of demons, ladder to mammon’s giest
Shredded by the exponential mouth, vertical bite

destroy foreign governments then offer them loans
we own the growth and the tomes in their home
define the word, control the symbol set
forget the natural rights in each self hating head

liberation is violence, mothering the paternal gun
cops and the military can be the only armed ones
Suck on the cold metal, eat the fascist boot
It asks for nothing, but yr dreams and yr roots
Adopt the symbols, the hammer from the clouds
Ditch the unknown for the essentialized and proud
under control now. too loud for an honest sound.
Miming the grace lost when the soul is acted out
