Mass Distraction!
And Disorder!
I know there's something in the water
I know there's something in the air
The clouds of smoke are growing closer
You're placing blame cause you don't care
Are you embarrassed yet, you've voted in a clown
you're afraid if you admit it then you'll never live it down
But I beg you seek your empathy, I hope you come around
Or at least you turn your deaf ear to the sound... of
I know the system wasn't working
We always meant to burn it down
Your torch's flame was fueled by treason
Lit by a man who craves a crown
Are you embarrassed yet, you begged to bend the knee
To an antiauthoritarian who lusts for authority
And how many more of ours should die before you plainly see
That this battle isn't between you and me...
I watched a man die
On my local TV station
I wasn't surprised
To see the situation
My aging apathy
Was catching up to me
A fire alchemized of growing old and new frustrations
It's been the same shit
Since 1992
And centuries before but still they say "what can you do?"
I hear the men cry
"Why can't they just comply?"
But I will not comply!
But I will not comply!
Are you embarrassed yet? When the city's burning red
In a civilized society, we're bringing out our dead
Are you embarrassed yet? When the news is nothing more
Than a talking head disparaging the diseased and the poor
Are you embarrassed yet? When the value of a dime
Funds a CEO's vacation and a desperate parent's crime
Are you embarrassed yet? In a plastic, rotting sea
And if you're not embarrassed, then you FUCKIN. OUGHTA. BE.

3. I FEEL SICK

I feel sick
Sick of a notion of a vague domestication
Crashing and burning is my only occupation
I’ve got a problem and I’m getting fucking sick of it
Probably shouldn’t put a pair of horns on a monument
Dead and devoted to a deadly devotation
Friendly and floating to a forlorn registration
I can’t stop my heart from bleeding
I can’t stop my brain from screaming
We can’t afford the gasoline
To strike a math and light a flame to this town
I know you’re motives are serpentine
To drive this operation into the ground
And even though we were in the clear,
I still won’t regret another year on you!
I feel sick
Truth in your trouble, well it never hurt anyone
We’re on the double and we fucked over everyone
Flat and flustered, they discovered
People play with heartstrings rusted
Dealt with disaster and you’re left exploited
Angry, annoyed, but you’re still anointed
We refuse to say we’re sorry
Leave this place in a world of worry
We can’t afford the gasoline
To strike a math and light a flame to this town
I know you’re motives are serpentine
To drive this operation into the ground
And even though we were in the clear,
I still won’t regret another year on you!

TURN OFF THE
The TV says that everything’s alright
Just stay tuned onto this station and don’t look outside at night
But you can’t deny their secrets and their lies
Are your interests in their minds
Are they monsters in disguise?
Ignore the face of your enemy
While you check out this endorsement from and overhyped celebrity
Are you a nut with a conspiracy?
OR DO YOU SIMPLY SEE THE THINGS THAT OTHER FOLKS REFUSE TO SEE
Lo and behold another faceless name that’s killed in actions
Lo and behold another war in the name of peace
Another drop of blood to quench their thirst for death and mass distraction
Another shot of rum so I can put my mind at ease
Our leader says that everything is fine
Just put trust into our system and don’t step outside the lines
But you can’t deny the hunger in his eyes
For a plot to terrorize
Or a drug to hypnotize
Are you the subject of phenomenon
Does you paranoia brain ramble on and on
Do you believe in a paragon?
Or do you simply feel that what you think is real might just be wrong
