Propagandhi - Name And Address Withheld lyrics

rate me

The following views expressed do not necessarily reflect

those of the prevailing order,

who prostrate to their naked kings,

tailor the seams of funeral shrouds on foreign shores,

but shed no tears for the dead of the endless list

of informal wars â?? the justification for will be

spelled out coming soon to a screen near you.

I'm feeling less hopeful and so much less human as

my days are reduced to little more than settling for

revenge and wondering whatever happened to the kid

that pledged â??first do no harmâ?

�? Chalk it up to an overdeveloped sense of unbridled

vengeance. Somebody fed me too much New Hope for breakfast,

'cause as the empire preemptively strikes back

(again) and the voice of Luke's father baritones this

is CNN I recall Arab kids slaughtered reduced to sand-niggers

and rag-heads. And now I'm expected to mourn dead Americans?

The executioner's willing citizens?

I'm so sorry and I'm trying to think it through,

but when the chickens came home to roost and hand-delivered

matching funeral urns to the bully that never learns

I could've swore I heard a chorus rise and fall wishing

them so many more unhappy returns.

But in every war waged, only kings emerged unscathed.
