lyrics
Battle for the Republic
So take your place...history waits for no one, and its ushers, all, are showing age
Avert your gaze...if you just came here to watch, well, I'm afraid you're a few sins too late
Bathe the pacifist in kerosene
Then fire up the war machine
Diplomacy's for cowards,
And reason’s, circumspect.
And juris isn't prudent for
Muhammad's children anymore
The bill of rights seems high,
So we'll just walk the fucking check.
So set the stage...for dunce-capped politicians, come to save us all with vitriol and hate.
And we won’t break…we’re skilled in forced attrition, for all you antagonists of state
And a Congress of obstructionists
Watch progress die of loneliness.
And to her heirs it's self apparent
We're inheriting the wind
Build walls to keep the bigot safe
And laws to bridge our church and state
As we all sing Hallelujah
Lady Liberty, amen.
So build your Walls of Jericho,
Let eagles scare away the crows,
From amber waves of grain,
From sea to shining sea.
And rifles utter thunderous sounds
As seven order three more rounds
At the wake of one more martyred
At the hand of you and me.
So take your place...history waits for no one, and its ushers, all, are showing age
Avert your gaze...if you just came here to watch, well, I'm afraid you're a few sins too late
Bathe the pacifist in kerosene
Then fire up the war machine
Diplomacy's for cowards,
And reason’s, circumspect.
And juris isn't prudent for
Muhammad's children anymore
The bill of rights seems high,
So we'll just walk the fucking check.
So set the stage...for dunce-capped politicians, come to save us all with vitriol and hate.
And we won’t break…we’re skilled in forced attrition, for all you antagonists of state
And a Congress of obstructionists
Watch progress die of loneliness.
And to her heirs it's self apparent
We're inheriting the wind
Build walls to keep the bigot safe
And laws to bridge our church and state
As we all sing Hallelujah
Lady Liberty, amen.
So build your Walls of Jericho,
Let eagles scare away the crows,
From amber waves of grain,
From sea to shining sea.
And rifles utter thunderous sounds
As seven order three more rounds
At the wake of one more martyred
At the hand of you and me.
