A kook and a crook
US playbook
Pledge to a team claiming supremacy
Swallow this shit and deal with it
Pay for it
Trampled by it
You're dying for it
Is your headstone red or blue
Do you believe what you know to be true
A system built to swallow you
Is your casket red or
Empathy and apathy and entropy and atrophy and empathy and apathy
It's not enough
Empathy and apathy and entropy and atrophy and empathy and apathy
Our hands in blood
Delusion of a puppet show of judgments being handed from the sky
Sounds kinda crazy when you say it out loud
Exclusion of rationale
No profit no glory no virtue no reason why
No amount of money or power will ever satiate the greed
Disillusion of the labor forced to scrape an income to survive
Sounds kinda crazy when you say it out loud
A creep and a thief
What a relief
The best of the clowns to drag us all down
The land of the free is make believe and nothing belongs to you
A kook and a crook
US playbook
Pledge to a team claiming supremacy
Swallow this shit and deal with it
Pay for it
Trampled by it
You're dying for it
Built to swallow you
