read the news, watch the news (or maybe better don't)
Lyrics
his supply line's cut said the purser
to that voice from the thin air
the captains been educated
he's welling red from ear to ear
quite a party on that boarding
promised cute lass, rolex, all the best
would have thought that he'd see it coming
learned the lesson but failed the test
realized early that satisfaction
depends on the will to cheat and steal
pledge allegiance to just do that
pick the lies and learn to kill
institutionalized and sanctioned
double speak the ways are paved
rode those "good" intentions
past those poppies, to an unmarked grave
raise that right hand
on some good book to swear
to tell the truth, but there's no truth to hear
they might under stand
do some wash and wear
whatever justice is, you won't find it in there
there are no rules for money changers
power brokers all its own deals
better if there are no witnesses
just pretty faceless sex appeal
you only live until you die
judge and jury, death defines all life
herds of workers, and some hives
queened by jellied corporate ties
raise that right hand
on some good book to swear
to tell the truth, but there's no truth to hear
they might under stand
do some wash and wear
whatever justice is, you won't find it in there
