That Mural
The heroine defined
She of everywoman kind
Tigeress emptied every magazine
Flush of passion on her cheek
Mascara'd lid that did'nt blink
Outlined bullets rained
She of everywoman kind
Tigeress emptied every magazine
Flush of passion on her cheek
Mascara'd lid that did'nt blink
Outlined bullets rained

Remember, Remember
Bonfire Night is an ironic thing
at 400 years after the event
where a Gunpowder Plot had killed no king
and sabotage became Guido's lament
as the people had made it very clear
that a disruption to the status quo
based on violence and subsequent fear
wasn't the most discerning way to go
to carry heretofore the common law;
be the ancient regimes hip, hip, hooray,
or establishments of indolent blah
countermanding even a sunny day...
since rare indeed is the revolution
that fairly treats the wealth distribution!

The Truth, Invoked
the headline-grabbing
attention whore
mumbling, fumbling
idiotic lore
words become twisted
UNtruths are spoken
telling lies to ourselves
we’re functionally broken
paying expensive homage
to the status quo
it’s a badge of honor
just go with the flow
but I’ve come to cleanse
I’m hellfire, stoked
here to burn it all down
I’m the truth, invoked
firestorm or slow burn
it’s one or the other
rage against this machine
run back to your mother
fashion your own ladder
look down...

Idiot savants
Go and gather up the known affiliates.
We're gonna build a village of idiots.
We gotta make sure this gets crazy.
"Getting out of hand" to me is just lazy.
Had our fill of tastless "pain et cirque".
Contorting dough into a shape won't work.
Hunting down cerebral stimuli.
We got the time to kill but it won't die.
Gonna paint this town the bloodiest of red.
A thin veneer of all the living dead.
Choking to death on the lives they've led.
Infected by the many lies wide-spread.
Blunt force persuasion you beg us to...
