Song language: English
Today's Empires, Tomorrow's Ashes |
| This tangled web we weave spans from Pine to Ruby Ridge |
| Back to Shay’s defeat on up to Gufstafsen |
| Now cue the ass parade of dittoheads and commisars and pricks |
| Drown out the faintest hint of commie faggot heretics |
| The nail that sticks up gets hammered down |
| The master’s finest, finest tools are found |
| Slack-jawed and placid amidst the cacophony |
| Of screaming billboards and Disney-fied history |
| Sometimes the ties that bind are strange |
| No justice shines upon the cemetery plots marked |
| Hampton, Weaver, or Anna Mae |
| Where federal bureaus and fraternal orders |
| Have cast their shadows |
| Permanent features built into these borders |
| But undercover of the customary gap we find between |
| History and truth, founding fathers |
| Bask in the rockets blinding red glare |
| The bombs bursting in air, one nation indivisble |
| But the truth is the back country learned of ratification |
| The people had a coffin painted black |
| And solemnly born in funeral procession |
| They buried it deep in the earth |
| An an emblem of their disillusion |
| Internment of their public liberty |
| And someday, somewhere, today’s empires |
| Tomorrow’s ashes |
