lyrics

entertainment infiltrated
by bought and paid for
parades of pride and regalia
no sight for eyes so sore

not so subliminal in doctrine
but meticulous in message
the arbiters of consensus-gentium
deceive the pure to make the pledge
without flinching

what's rhetoric without some muscle?
i want you
i want you
to do the dirty work of despots
blasphemer in a foxhole

jingoists unchained
forging fear and brazen bias
fetishizing cannon fodder
grooming grunts out of the pious

greasing palms in these uncertain times
exploiting our institutions
corrupted right before our eyes
but with such stirring elocution

what's rhetoric without some muscle?
i want you
i want you
to do the dirty work of despots
blasphemer in a foxhole

we are the ones who must reclaim
this civic duty we've abandoned
while conscientiously objecting
programming by propagandists

often those who seek such power
mount the throne to mask the coward
