Hey Jackboot
$#&@ your war
Cause I'm fat and in love

and no bombs are falling on me for sure
But I'm scared to death
That I'm living a life not worth dying for


And your plow shear
It's a sword

And its wide arcing swing chops the heads off of many things
Mono crops... Laughter roars
Oh high hilarity

Oh muck bury me
Oh standard bearer carry me burning home from another tour


Go ahead put your red dress on
Days of white robes have come and gone
Come and gone

Oh you rivers, oh you waters run
Come bear witness to the !@^% of Babylon


"Hey Slave" They called
And we caved
We answered

To a new name
Shout it loud shout it lame
But black face it

You're such a good dancer
Oh you're a star
You're carnival

Jacaranda petals fall
Mix with the blood of the saints
Shot down in the square

Don't track it in on the soles of your shoes
When you're dragged into the back of this car


Go ahead put your red dress on
Days of white robes have come and gone
come and gone

Oh you rivers, oh you waters run
Come bear witness to the !@^% of Babylon


It's a trap
That much is plain
Still,maybe send snapshots

of all your sweet pain
Playing tortuous games
It goes: Lense, light, fame

Read my names on your lips
When the man cracks the whip
And you'll all shake your hips

And you'll all dance to this
Without making a fist
And I know that it sounds mundane

But it's a stone cold shame
How they got you tame
And they got me tame.


So go ahead put your red dress on
Days of white robes come and gone

Come and gone
Oh you rivers, oh you waters run
Come bear witness to the !@^% of Babylon
