lyrics

We're the ones with the guns.
We're the meat-cleaving clowns that have so much fun.
We're the pigs with the badge that proves that we are above every man.

We ignite the flames of pious prejudice down on your life.
We violate your civil rights and take what's yours.
We eradicate the cold and poor all to hail the fight of a spineless leader.
Your head's on a pike if you're anything but ivory white.
A shameless reich: set for failure!

We're the ones with the guns.
We're the meat-cleaving clowns that have so much fun.
We're the pigs with the badge that proves that we are above every man! (2x)

WHAT A JOKE!

A fading picture show as smoke and mirrors go.
You abuse the dog and pony, but you don't forget the blow.
Militarize the future and train to hate the youth.
Divide and conquer culture: spread sickness at the root.
You try to change a nation to fit a nightmare view,
Enslave all non-believers and banish all hope and truth.

(Solo: J. K. Parsons)

HATE!
HO-O-OPE!
HATE!
NO!

We ignite the flames of pious prejudice down on your life.
We violate your civil rights and take what's yours.
We eradicate the cold and poor all to hail the fight of a spineless leader.
Your head's on a pike if you're anything but ivory white.
A shameless reich: set for failure!

WHAT A JOKE!

We're the ones with the guns.
We're the meat-cleaving clowns that have so much fun.
We're the pigs with the badge that proves that we are above every man! (2x)

(Solo: J. K. Parsons)

We all now live in a police state:
Paranoid.
