Spread The Cancer Like Chernobyl Sweet Sherman symphanies sing me awake As the words scream from her mouth Above my ears the sounds of jet planes As they yawn across the frieghtened November sky Their herion falling into our laps Parachutes litter the palm trees like flags of surrender It will roll down Roosevelt Boulevard The harmonies of hundreds of marching feet Closing in, within fifty yards The bullets kiss my cheek Use the dollar bills to clean your wounds For don't they heal all, Gentlemen? Call in the Infantry! Call in the Infantry! Now cut your hair, put on your best suit and tie Use your razor, and don't forget your suitcase For this is what they want you "to be" So fall into rank, as they draw an "X" Across every third man's neck Close the curtains, Madison And keep the violence on television Hang yellow ribbons from your mailboxes And make Pat Tillman, the man of the Media Minute Slit your ears, and I bet they bleed none of Iraq The way of a white upper class America So we'll blow into the ends of revolvers As if they were breathalizers And feel the cold taste of American Steel As it crashes between my front teeth Whisper me the first nursery rhyme you ever learned And I'll sing in response, the "Battle Hymn of the Republic" So lets follow Truman's Theory And take the easiest way out we can We'll light up the cresent sky, neon green As teenage hearts rupture all around me So watch us collapse like New York For don't fear, our replacements are only ten feet behind us The hospital doors are bolted shut So we'll bleed into the open storm drains And bow down on your right knee As the taste of unleaded pours into your mouth And let it re-Christen you So raise that American flag in "victory"
Whoa, this like totally inspires me to make artwork almost. I wish I wrote this because I can tell you I'd have the sickest artwork imaginable for this epic poem. Definetely states all that's wrong with our country, you're a genious Tim! Be in a band with me.......now.
