Casino Nation |
| In a weapons producing nation under Jesus |
| In the fabled crucible of the free world |
| Camera crews search for clues amid the detritus |
| And entertainment shapes the land |
| The way the hammer shapes the hand |
| Gleaming faces in the checkout counter at the Church of Fame |
| The lucky winners cheer Casino Nation |
| All those not on TV only have themselves to blame |
| And don’t quite seem to understand |
| The way the hammer shapes the hand |
| Out beyond the ethernet the spectrum spreads |
| DC to daylight, the cowboy mogul rides |
| Never worry where the gold for all this glory’s gonna come from |
| Get along dogies, it’s coming out of your hides |
| The intentional cultivation of a criminal class |
| The future lit by brightly burning bridges |
| Justice fully clothed to hide the heart of glass |
| That shatters in a thousand Ruby Ridges |
| And everywhere the good prepare for perpetual war |
| And let their weapons shape the plan |
| The way the hammer shapes the hand |
