[Intro - Instrumental - 3 bars]
[Verse 1 - Dr. Faustus]
There's no turning back
I left my home burning in flames this morning
Knowing the day-after creates a new day dawning
This is the season of the non-conformist
The arms race where the hare is beaten by the tortoise
More like the bald eagle getting scalped within his fortress
The higher purpose issues
Put this in your headline news:
The hateful man from Iraq
I wrap a long stem-of-thorns around the heartland of America
Achy-breaky, hate me - scarin' ya
Okie-dokie - Oklahoma bombing? Blame me
Suspect unknown, but stereotype and name me
Then you wonder why we extremists
We're dealing with a nation run by demons
Concocting devious government bodies
F-U-C-K all your D.E.A.'s and F.E.M.A.'s
Your regime means to steamroll all opposing themes
Those with melanin in genes always considered away team
Foreign policies transform into broken promises
Can't even fathom exactly what honest is
Dirty, rotten scoundrels dispense the cruel
Promised blacks 40 acres and a mule
All they got was 40 ounces and a stool
The description of existence:
Life's a bitch, and breathing's for fools
Tragedy rules, inhale gas and choke on toxic fumes
Grey skies tremble at the mercy of fossil fuels
Did we all want chaos to run amok?
Livin' a vampire's life - reality bites, and blood sucks
'Til you're zombie-like and just don't give a *gunshot*
But that's all gonna change now...
[Bridge: Instrumental - 6 Bars]
[Verse 2 - Dr. Faustus]
Never exercising their rights, freedom of speech atrophy
Fear of conflict with bully Big Brother breeds apathy
Torture loyal citizens of this wicked system
Leavin' 'em with severed tongue
Let freedom ring, but it never rung
Mute affluent bums force rambles of shabby renditions
Of a national anthem left in shambles
Half-hearted patriotism
Parents now slaves to their children (Brainwashed)
Columbine High School reunion sensationalism
Twenty-one gun, megaton atomic salute
For this government and it's self-destructive attributes
Chickens coming home to roost
This act you call "terrorist"
Provides third-world populace with ego boost
Aggressions eliminate possibilities of truce
Us considered minority, yet you comb the streets for new recruits
Uncle Sam, your nephews wanna show you what you've train them to do
Stressed blue-collars in the name of increased tax revenue
Children work their fingers to the bone in sweatshops
Rest at night in mud-huts. Adolescent have-nots
Nourished in economic cell blocks
Acquire nutrition from a well-developed "In God We Trust" bloodlust
They claw, scratch, and scrape for scraps
Asthma grips and grabs
Hold they breath with iron-grasp, until they lungs collapse
Sick and tired
Choose the lesser of two evils in ballot-box booby-traps
Behemoth industrial complex shall be made simpler
The world ends with a bang while you whimper
[Bridge: Instrumental - 4 Bars]
[Verse 3: Dr. Faustus]
My reasons for doing this are noble
The grievances of my people must be made vocal
This global community cursed with the same destiny of Chernobyl
Under their fearful breath, they sing songs of freedom
Each individual aware: the greater good supersedes 'em
A powerful peace comes over your grand cities
Rebels in the trenches; doing the dirty work with hands-shitty
No sympathy for Mephistopheles
The oppressed won't ever grant pity
Beware, be cautious. Armed forces weakened by heavy losses
Police departments blown to bits by countless grenade tosses
Poisonous chemicals spewing from faucets
Got the upper-class feeling nauseous
Nuclear winter: the coldest equalizer
Racist power-structure destabalizer
What if the wretched victims of imperialism were to rise up?
The ignorant were to wise up?
Underground radiation shelters too quickly use supplies up
New World Order conspirators break their ties up
Revolutionaries organize: cross their T's and dot their I's up
The greatest opposition to liberty were sized up
Flip the Earth like a coin, hope for the right-side up
Self-defeated suicide, down. War criminal homicide, up
Global warming melt polar caps and raise the tide up
What would you do?
Time's up
