lyrics

Bits and bytes and rams and roms
gigs and orgs and nets and coms
I think my brain is lost among the airwaves

cars and phones, CDs and clothes
mp3s, I need a loan
I think my sol is half price on the sales page

Ministers, confessionals,
god ordained professionals
I think my alarm clock's set for the doomsday

Solving problems, dropping bombs
Irag, Japan, and Vietnam
I think we like the smell of our own graves

And they're standing on the front lines
Singing, "Hallelujah, its time!"
An eye for an eye will make us blind
Tell me how to feel
If all that we've worked for was gone
With just the ashes and dust in our eyes
A burning king with a fiery crown
'Til we tear it down

80 million empty homes
yet homelessness still lives on
I think we're addicted to the disarray, yeah

Jesus went congressional
Christian values federal
I think my weeks are stuck on a sunday

They make bombs so we make more
What the hell is all this for?!
I think we let the fools determine our fate

Television is a joke
Shut it off I might choke
I think the news is packed with propaganda

And they're standing on the front lines
Singing, "Hallelujah, its time!"
An eye for an eye will make us blind
Tell me how to feel
If all that we've worked for was gone
With just the ashes and dust in our eyes
A burning king with a fiery crown
As we tear it down

The keys to Lincoln's room are with Uncle Sam
Mother Mary has taken him as her man
The cowboys left their shoes in a faulty choice
To legislate illegitimate girls and boys
Cracking down on the tree of life that grows in our fields
Setting fires to oil after all that they've killed
The bombs going off on the count of two
Get ready for it, are you ready for it?
1,2 Boom
