State Propaganda
01:45
|
|||
|
The broadcast starts at five, they play the national anthem
With soldiers marching proud, carry their flag held high
The news proclaims that's all it means, this start spangled banner
You drop a knee you say you think our veterans should die
Kindly turn to state propaganda
Leave your radio on with your TV
Pushing their nationalist agenda
Melt your brain
Will all our precious children state the pledge of allegiance?
A blood-pact oath of loyalty they all understand
Make the Jews and Buddhists ask that God bless our nation
Stamp it in their brains each day of school they attend
Kindly turn to state propaganda
Leave your radio on with your TV
Pushing their nationalist agenda
Melt your brain
They keep the masses calm with all their fluff and shock pieces
Obama pardons turkeys and now Trump sleeps with whores
Gather their attention and then guide them by leashes
Ignore the drones, the treason, and the oil and the war
Kindly turn to state propaganda
Leave your radio on with your TV
Pushing their nationalist agenda
Melt your brain

Suppress the Oppressed (Suppress the Oppressed)
Speak up now and you're under arrest
Suppress the Oppressed (Suppress the Oppressed)
Doesn't matter if it's a protest
Suppress the Oppressed (Suppress the Oppressed)
Locked away now with no contest, with no contest
They crush dissent just like a bug
With their dumb-fuck cops and their billy clubs
Shoot 'em up with gas now
They're having a blast now
Hiding like cowards behind their masks
Suppress the Oppressed (Suppress the Oppressed)
Zero sign of any morality
Suppress the Oppressed (Suppress the Oppressed)
Spit into the face of democracy
Suppress the Oppressed (Suppress the Oppressed)
They don't give a shit about you or me, about you or me
Beating on people just like a thug
All because Daddy never gave a hug
Break a young kid's leg now,
Put 'em in a cast now
Make sure this protest will be their last
Suppress the Oppressed (Suppress the Oppressed)
Speak up now and you're under arrest
Suppress the Oppressed (Suppress the Oppressed)
Doesn't matter if it's a protest
Suppress the Oppressed (Suppress the Oppressed)
Locked away now with no contest
Suppress the Oppressed
Suppress the Oppressed
Suppress the Oppressed (Suppress the Oppressed)
Suppress the Oppressed
Suppress the Oppressed
Suppress the Oppressed (Suppress the Oppressed)

Vampire in Enoch
02:26
|
|||
|
I heard there was a vampire
By Enoch Elementary
Sitting on a fence post singing
Songs to all the dogs that howl at night
He says it's not so bad
The nights are warm if kind of sad
'Cause everybody runs away at the sight of his red cape
But he says he's not a beast
Just a man like you or me
And that while there's evil fell on Enoch
It's not Satan's breed
But a banner of God's light
With the fear of heaven's might
Hanging in each yard, a calling card
That hate lives in the light
So then the vampire told me
I haven't naught to fear
He'll only take the polygs lives
If just to save their brainwashed wives
Yet still they have the nerve to say
That he's the one that must repent
When they're the ones choose to live lives
Where God in heaven cries
But he says he's not a beast
Just a man like you or me
And that while there's evil fell on Enoch
It's not Satan's breed
But a banner of God's light
With the fear of heaven's might
Hanging in each yard, a calling card
That hate lives in the light
If you don't keep the sabbath
If you wear black beneath the sun
He says they'll stone you next
For Enoch is a town that's without sin
You see, they write the book
To justify their dirty looks
And vampires have no place in Enoch
Save to keep the peace
But he says he's not a beast
Just a man like you or me
And that while there's evil fell on Enoch
It's not Satan's breed
But a banner of God's light
With the fear of heaven's might
Hanging in each yard, a calling card
That hate lives in the light

Another Call to Arms
03:20
|
|||

The president said something foul on the waves
Poking at North Korea today
The people are angry but just at his tact
They don't see what he's taking away
Food for the hungry, health care for the sick
And our dignity in the U.N.
Oh, We're so sick and so tired of the lies
So my brothers and sisters rise up and take arms
And let's riot again in the streets and dump out all the tea
Conservative congress that hates the transexuals,
Blacks, and the gays, and the poor
The police can gun them all down as is needed
The rest, electrotherapy
Fox calls him a businessman, more of a CEO
Driving his company broke
Oh, We're so sick and so tired of the lies
So my brothers and sisters rise up and take arms
And let's riot again in the streets and dump out all the tea
He says he's a genius, stable, and super smart
Still needs his name in reports
So he won't lose interest, how just like an infant
I've gone from pro-choice to pro-death just for him
But Pence isn't better, so throw them away
And let's all welcome in anarchy
Oh, We're so sick and so tired of the lies
So my brothers and sisters rise up and take arms
And let's riot again in the streets and dump out all the tea
Oh, We're so sick and so tired of the lies
So my brothers and sisters rise up and take arms
And let's take back our country again and dump out all the tea
