Verse 1

Circle around the par

joining hands in silence

Watch the evil

Verse 2

We cast our funeral rose i

Our mutilation is to g

ain from the sys

Verse 3

Turn your head away from the s

It will tell you noth

ing more

Don&rsq

uo;t suck the milk of flaccid Bil

l K. Public’s empty promise

To the p

eople that the p

gnore

Pre-Chorus 1

This way of life is so devised

to snuff out the mind that moves

Moving with grace the men des

pise,

and women have learned to lose

Throw off your shame or be a

slave to the s

With your ste

and your stable and your tr

I

you, Mr. Strong

Verse 4

Throw out the stones from all the cemetery homes

For the violence of a nation gone

by

Or the

politics of weakness and the g

arbage dump of souls

That will now b

Pre-Chorus 2

Their yellow haze and crowds of e

yes

will plug up the mind that moves

Moving with grace the men despise

,

and women have learned to lose

We'll share our bodies in dis

dain for the system

Chorus 2

I see you take another d

One nation bends to kiss the h

The sky is a landfill

drag

I see you ta

ke another drag

I have

ear of this mach
