These bastards stole their power from the victims of theUs 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 hypnotized the summer, 1979

Marched into the capital

Brooding duplicitous, wicked and able, media-ready, heartless andlabeled

Super U.S. citizen, super achiever, mega-ultra power dosing

Relax. Defense, defense, defense, defense.

The information nation took their clues from all the sound-bitegluttons

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, T.V. tells a million lies

The paper’s terrified to report anything that isn’t handed on apresidential spoon

I’m just profoundly frustrated by all this

So, fuck you man (Fuck ‘em)

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Ignoreland

Yeah, yeah, yeah

If they weren’t there, we would have created them

Maybe it is 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 andlabeled

Super U.S. citizen, super achiever, mega-ultra power dosing

Relax. Defense, defense, defense, defense.

Yeah, yeah, yeah
