These bastards stole their power from the victims of the us v. them years,
Wrecking all things virtuous and true
The undermining social democratic downhill slide into abysmal
Lost lamb off the precipice into the trickle down runoff pool
They hypnotised the summer, 1979
Marched into the capital brooding duplicitous, wicked and able, media-ready,
Heartless, and labeled. super us citizen, super achiever,
Mega ultra power dosing. relax
Defense, defense, defense, defense. yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, ignoreland. yeah, yeah, yeah, ignoreland
Yeah, yeah, yeah
The information nation took their clues from all the sound-bite gluttons
1980, 84, 88, 92 too, too
How to be what you can be, jump jam junking your energies
How to walk in dignity with throw up on your shoes
They amplified the autumn, 1979
Calculate the capital, up the republic my skinny ass
Tv tells a million lies. the paper's terrified to report
Anything that isn't handed on a presidential spoon,
I'm just profoundly frustrated by all this. so, fuck you, man (fuck 'em)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, ignoreland. yeah, yeah, yeah, ignoreland
If they weren't there we would have created them. maybe, it's true,
But I'm resentful all the same. someone's got to take the blame
I know that this is vitriol. no solution, spleen-venting,
But I feel better having screamed. don't you?
They desecrated winter, 1979
Capital collateral. brooding duplicitous, wicked and able, media-ready,
Heartless, and labeled. super us citizen, super achiever,
Mega ultra power dosing. relax
Defense, defense, defense, defense. yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, ignoreland. yeah, yeah, yeah, ignoreland
Yeah, yeah, yeah, ignoreland. yeah, yeah, yeah
I did not do the revolution
Thank you
