spectate from cover
talk a good war. suffering
by proxy is safe
PTSD is the modern soldier's curse, the 'gift'  that keeps on giving. Those who genuinely suffer deserve our compassion and assistance. However, those who would steal the suffering of others and use it as a meal ticket are beneath comtempt. Even worse are those who use the pain of others to excuse their own misdeeds.

When johnny comes marching home from war
johnny isnt johnny anymore
too many images have been absorbed
and johnny isnt johnny anymore

what happened to the soldier so strong?
i'm telling you, something is wrong

they go over there and take away life
then come back home and **** their wife
with no war thats left to fight
and they dont know that ****** isnt right

when a battlefield is the only place you belong
i'm telling you, something is wrong
~~~^♡^~~~

what can we do
to bring light to
these dark, dark days?

what switch can we turn
to illuminate the way?

there's nothing but war
and hardship and want
children who starve
demons that haunt

we all need a
love resurrection
just a little divine intervention
we all need a
LOVE RESURRECTION
just a little divine intervention

what can we do
to restore the parched parched land
teach us to harvest
and bring good seed from our hands

let's be optimistic
and say we won't toil in vain
if we pull together
we can soothe each other's pain

we all need a
love resurrection
just a little divine intervention
we all need a
LOVE RESURRECTION
just a little divine intervention

At the watering hole
the wildabeasts
are gossiping the news
it's somebody's
BIRTHDAY
and he may have the
Blues!

so they all told the
zebras
who in turn told
giraffes
they all told the
elephants
they even told their
calves

pretty soon the whole
Savannah
knew that they must sing!
all the lions and the
bears and every bird
on wing!

so they sent up a chorus
all the grasslands
RANG!
even though it was
raucous
this is what they
sang...

HIPPO, BIRDIE, two EWES!
HIPPO, BIRDIE, two EWES!

HIPPO... BIRDIE
DEAR FRIEND,

HIPPO, BIRDIE, two EWES!

and many BOOOARS...
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!

i pledge allegiance to the rainbow flag
of the united states of america
and to the contradiction, for which it stands
one defunct nation, under government
invisible
with liberty and justice to money

It's about time to have your mind blown
courtesy of the refined drone
in a rhyme zone
design prone

i'm about to hit you with a sublime stone
you're not even in my time zone
i find clones
resigned moan

enough reality to make a mime groan
words from my mind's own
the sign's bone
i'm line prone

i'm the one who makes the slime known
from a velvet lined throne
the blind's shown
divine known

living lives of contradiction
where the facts are turned to fiction
we are the cause because we are the system
we are the killers, we are the twisted

misunderstanding is our affliction
where a touch is turned to friction
we are the burn because we are the symptom
we are the killers, we are the victims
