lyrics

Belligerent ignorance is their fraudulent insurance
It's no coincidence, cold-hearted charlatans

The lights are on but nobody's home
Maintain the status quo syndrome

We were strangers once too
Now, brothers in arms, United against you

On a whim, I'm going out on a limb to say you don't have a leg to stand on
You cheated in the foot race to the upper echelon
Blind witness to this phenomenon

Attack a straw man with his hands up
lying face down on the ground
Truth is conveniently lost and found
Contemporary slavery isn't just a memory
Demented reverie, never safe and sound

To some degree this fallacy is a travesty of fatalities

Lackluster sympathy
Filibuster soliloquy

Your talk is cheap, and it bankrupts the freedom of speech,
And with all due respect, that's a bunch of malarkey
I hope you choke from all the smoke you've been blowing

Malicious militias with vicious ambitions
Guided missiles, misguided men
A malevolent precedent is set
In this tragic game of Russian roulette

The dollar signs in your eyes won't let you realize, your life is a lie
It's no debate, can't get your story straight
Blinded in chains, the growing pains

Crazy song, it has it all. It's mellifluous and explosive and it has an extraordinary melodic end! Arkethypo
