Lyrics

(Busdriver) Hi it's me The Anarchist Bowling League team captain Exactly why all of your dreams happen Assign your ideals to extreme passions Regimes and factions Little greens and black ones Open-minded student union targeted with laser sights While they nature hike For peace action I jump in discussion with anti-American sentiment you don't prescribe to We'll cough up the man made sky-trash They'll celebrate put champagne in a wine glass We must renovate the campaign finance Awareness can't be swayed with shock and awe Crisis? What crisis? Code red Code orange Code yellow Code pink Don't think Just nod in agreement A finger's force behind that button pressed Can have an infant's head bludgeoned to death We've all fallen victim to the secretary of defense's onion breath Sudden steps to taken civil liberties away from your little chickadees Lashing fork-tongues bathe the warm guns So eat your freedom fries with the democracy spread But when you look closely you see it's just a maelstrom of cow dung Hi it's me The Anarchist Bowling League team captain Exactly why all of your dreams happen Assign your ideals to extreme passions Regimes and factions Little greens and black ones Open-minded student union targeted with laser sights While they nature hike For peace action Blood thirsty Americans We will recycle media coverage with an encyclopedia of rubbish So that we can put bayonets on our fountain pen And send away cadets so that powerful men's needs can be met Accept the manufactured consent and its candy wrapper content But not me because your vinyl jacket will not drape over my spinal bracket I'm the mindful lab chimp They poke and pry and my open-eye Hoping that my tear ducts leak their precious paint thinner 'Cuz when it comes to imagery flashfloods I'm a great swimmer And the average American is a pragmatic sloth who thinks they care honestly When the air quality's given them an asthmatic cough We have seen the outrageous claims made by the pre-recorded synthetic voice of the chief of staff Turn even a mild-mannered housewife into a warhead wrangler And the reason we have Is that there's a looming threat from an invented evildoer Watch the confident consumers cower There's war because there is no other dominant superpower
