Lyrics
Our ignorance and fear Of everything far, wide, and near Creates a nemesis Through some unholy Genesis We wave our magic wand Look at the hate we’ve spawned Our own monstrosity Our ignorance, atrocities, And lies Bring our own demise Like Victor Frankenstein Let’s Shake and Bake and wind The gears, two cups of fear, a dash of hate. A blessing from the police state. This recipe for pain We install with our own demented brains The moment has arrived So flick the switch and watch it come alive Look at this mess we’ve made What is the price we’ve paid? To perpetuate this sick charade Where does deterrence end… And genocide and suicide begin? Won’t stop till the final card’s been played United We Stand Undivided we leap forward hand in hand Thrown from the ledge By the very same allegiance that we pledge Looks like our past Has come right back to kick us in the ass The time bombs tick away And new ones pop up every day Open the closet and delve in Drag out all our skeletons Like a rabbit from a hat Hocus-pocus! Look at What we found And now it’s coming to your town Our imperialism, our materialistic “needs” Our ruthless greed Our quest for oil Our dominance of foreign soil Our appointments of despots And C.I.A. supported death squads In the name of Free Trade Line our pockets as we all dig our own graves Look at this mess we’ve made What is the price we’ve paid? To perpetuate this sick charade Where does deterrence end… And genocide and suicide begin? Won’t stop till the final card’s been played United We Stand Undivided we leap forward hand in hand Thrown from the ledge By the very same allegiance that we pledge The chicken or the egg? We’re sitting on a powder keg As we light another smoke This has got to be a joke Like trying to put out a flame With napalm, gasoline, and hand grenades The cycle never ends Do we really think we’re ever going to win?
