To the New Mandarins Lyrics by Channels

Waiting for the Next End of the World

0

It's tricky to relax when bracing for impact
Call it your patriot act
The panic room's in back with victory on tap
Show them your patriot act

New mandarins, your color-coded bulletins are doing my poor head in
While you place bets on what I'm most dreading
So well-informed
I don't know where the truth begins
I grew up on science fiction
That doesn't mean I want to live in it

O mandarins, new mandarins!

Pranking the homeland hotline
Threat level: yellow sunshine
Come on in, the fear is fine
Mergers and acquisitions
And murders and executions
Your worst suspicion can be proven

Asleep on pins between the spins and counter-spins
The fix is in like it has never ever, ever been
We pin merit badges on these Machiavellians
Their future hell is History 101
But no one is telling

Pranking the homeland hotline
Threat level: yellow sunshine
Come on in, the fear is fine
Mergers and acquisitions
And murders and executions
Hail the prophets of confusion

It's tricky to relax when bracing for impact
Call it your patriot act
The panic room's in back with victory on tap
But just you watch your ass
Show them your patriot act

Wrap yourself up in plastic and wait for the next disaster
You've got to hand it to the bastards
