hook in mouth

a cockroach in the concrete

courthouse tan and beady eyes

a slouch with fallen arches

purging truths into great lies

a little man with a big eraser

changing history

procedures that he's programmed to

all he hears and sees

altering the facts and figures

events and every issue

make a person disappear

and no one will ever miss you

rewrites every story

every poem that ever was

eliminates incompetence

and those who break the laws

follow the instructions of the new way's evil book of rules

replacing rights with wrongs

the files and records in the schools

you said you've got the answers

well who asked you anyway?

ever think may be it was meant to be this way?

don't try to fool us

we know the worst is yet to come

i believe my kingdom will come

f

is for fighting

r is for red

ancestors' blood in battles they've shed

e

we elect them

e

we eject them

in the land of the free and the home of the brave

d

for your dying

o

your overture

m

will cover your grave with manure

this spells out freedom

it means nothing to me

as long as there's p.m.r.c

you know what that cures

this spells out freedom

it means nothing to me

as long as there's p.m.r.c

put your hand right up my shirt

pull the strings that make me work

jaws will part

words fall out

like a fish with hook in mouth

rewrites every story

every poem that ever was

eliminates incompetence

and those who break the laws

follow the instructions of the new way's evil book of rules

replacing rights with wrongs

the files and records in the schools

i'm not a fish

i'm a man
