He found their lines to be a fable
a thousand souls set to save him
but with eyes filled from butterflies
his anguish was from hunger
than all that was being read
and as the priest said go in peace
this juvenile ate the earth

but so then why go home most reposed
traded duties at the door
but as the dusk shades the bedpost
we turned from One
to Us and Them

The president said there'd be jobs
true, as the press had cited him
and oh how the crowd conceieved him
a man of peace who'd save 'em
there was hope where none had been
except many didn't keep
their families or their homes


but so then why go home most reposed
traded duties at the door
but as the dusk shades the bedpost
we turned from One
to Us and Them

They say if you cast your vote
on the crude boding elect
you're vote will count irrespective
but the truth is no simple fix
to languish your wish on blowballs
never knowing that a rose
is just an optical toy

but so then why go home most reposed
traded duties at the door
but as the dusk shades the bedpost
we turned from One
to Us and Them

They said there is much freedom
In this home-made America
we close our eyes inside the times
as they grope the elders and children
it's the toll of terrorism
that's what they've told us to uphold
an immunity to duty

but so then why go home most reposed
traded duties at the door
but as the dusk shades the bedpost
we turned from One
to Us and Them

She killed her children on a sunday
irregardless of her life
and the news was all A buzzing
as we were sleeping in the haze
but the sheep have begged to waaake
cuz why else would we care to watch her
and the horrors that they say?


but so then why go home most reposed
traded duties at the door
but as the dusk shades the bedpost
we turned from One
to Us and Them

and so please tell me why oh why
I went home most reposed
traded my duties at the door
while the dusk shaded my bedpost thin
I turned from One...then
to Us and Them

and so please tell me now..

Can't we be

A World-Wide State

And Not a Shame?
