They put you down in a hot LZ
Left gargling glass and gasoline
Took heavy fire on all sides
From those taught to turn the turrets
On potential allies
In any theater of operations
Fuck the pretense and calculation
Only honesty will fill the void
Left by psycho fuck foot soldiers
Set on search and destroy
Pissing daily into us like tiny cups
One day we will surely flood
It’s just drama-droid ploy
To extract your precious blood
Two fresh marks bleed your passion
It’s just a false choice
Their white noise
A waste of ammunition
Like the Morning Show
A twisted train wreck
Of coked up hellos
And animatronic intent
And when lights go dim
Cameras cut to fade
Don’t think we can’t see you
Stumbling off your stage
Hurry home to your tomb
To stave off the gloom
With your daily dose chased with
Formaldehyde
Pissing daily into us like tiny cups
One day we will surely flood
It’s just drama-droid ploy
To extract your precious blood
Two fresh marks bleed your passion
It’s just a false choice
Their white noise
Expends your last munitions
And there’ve been times
When I spouted that bullshit line
Happily lapping up dog food and mace
Too scared to quit their alien race
Such a sad waste of time
Digging all those daggers out of your behind
If we could learn to turn that anger and hate
Against the ones who find fun
Dangling us as bait
Pissing daily into us like tiny cups
One day we will surely flood
It’s just drama-droid ploy
To extract your precious blood
Two fresh marks bleed your passion
It’s just a false choice
Their white noise
It bleeds your ammunition
Wounded animals
The time is now
Lets make a stand
While we still fucking can
Realize the strength you hold
When you turn around and find you’re not alone
Find each other in affinity
Unleash this vitriol…
