There's no buisness like the buisness of Destroying all that you've ever loved Selling trash to the bankrupt Or shaking hands and spilling blood It is the most modern of art Put your hand over your heart "i pledge allegence to the dark The united states of amnesia" Good mourning, america Holy roman pop culture Hold me close and keep me warm The medium is the massacre
You bought it, we blew it So put your heart into it Distortion is truth You bought it, we blew it So put some art into it The body count has just begun
And the dead are bored With their afterlives It's not like the brouchures No heaven in sight
Well, the war is won at home So i'm not picking up the phone I'm locking myself in alone And building verses out of bones
We are the noble dead We suffer for art And for god and country
