On a roll
Here comes the rambunctious vicious pit bull
Circus comes to town
Waving hands, pious rants, reason stripped down
Secretary, President, Chief of staff
All claiming to be acting on your behalf
Right now what they chose it seems
Is to rest their restless faith on democracy
Or should I say corpocracy, hypocrisy
If I set up a war will you die for me?
Condemnation nation, weapons of mass manipulation
Misinformation, defamation, accusation
Warfare to deceive the whole population
And when the timing is right
They light fires at night
And have the arrogance to determine what's wrong or right
So if you're looking for a scapegoat
I can hold a mirror for you
And I'm only letting you in cause I can't get out
Hey, wait
Stay the night I'll be your soul mate
Let your thoughts caress my skin
I wanna feel you in my bones
No way
Who's that pointing fingers my way
Let him who is without sin
Cast the first stone
Transgress, oppress, for self-interest
Suppress all progress and call it success
Their claims about undying faith
Are just a cover for the horror of the crimes they perpetrate
Feeding ignorance, raping the conscience
Ostentatious, standing proud and pompous
Old whores brag about their scores on a golf course
While some kid dies in their war to feed their 4x4s
Self proclaimed liberators, hall of shame dictators, traitors
Hypocrite masqueraders, haters
Armor-plated loons
Promises of freedom, providers of doom
Brought forth with a clear mandate
To avenge, betray, defy and humiliate
Still you're looking for a scapegoat
I'm the one and I abhor you
And I'm only letting you in cause I can't get out
Hey, wait
Stay the night I'll be your soul mate
Let your thoughts caress my skin
I wanna feel you in my bones
No way
Who's that pointing fingers my way
Let him who is without sin
Cast the first stone
Those eyes that stare at me now
Belie my fate
Those eyes are scaring me now
Carry me out, come take me away
Hey, wait
Stay the night I'll be your soul mate
Let your thoughts caress my skin
I wanna feel you in my bones
No way
Who's that pointing fingers my way
Let him who is without sin
Cast the first stone
