"save our country"
"save our county"
"buy the bombs"
"buy the bombs"
Let our teachers slowly quit
Let the books slowly tear
Let the chalk slowly fade away
To nothing
And nothing will be done

...because...

The government has effectively
Sold fear to the american people

***and***

we buy it like sickly sweet cotton candy
Fluffy and tasty, but be careful...
...you might throw up


Wave not the flag of freedom
But the flag of blinded faith
The flag of restricted rights


Let us not send medicine and food,
But soldiers and guns...


->Sorry, we don't do salvation
Maybe you could step out of the office
Of arrogance, and make a left
To hope

But don't expect us to help you out


and remember, we'll never let you down
unless, of course...the money's right


...whytt *03
