Satanic Reverses |
| In the 1970's |
| The OPEC nations began to dominate |
| The world’s oil economy |
| In the 1980's |
| Japan became the world’s |
| Number one economic power |
| In 1989 the nations of Eastern Europe |
| Attempted to restructure |
| While in the United States civil rights have |
| Collapsed at the hands of fundamentalists |
| And national insecurity’s at an all time high |
| Exxon and on and on and on |
| The ministers of double speak |
| New meaning of clean they tried to teach us |
| They staged the phoney shampoo of the Valdez greases |
| Completely Jheri curled the beaches |
| Pipe bomb for the NAACP |
| And a hit on Salman Rushdie, the Berlin Wall comes down |
| And the U.S. cracks down on illegal aliens |
| Ban the freedom of choice for those wanting abortion |
| And enforce capitol punishment |
| Twenty four hour radio ban |
| For indecency determined by the F.U.C.C |
| Why are we so anesthetized to the lies? |
| Because we do it in our own lives |
| We believe all the things that we want to hear |
| But then we also love to criticize |
| Bail out the banks |
| Loan art to the churches |
| Satanic Reverses |
| In 1992 the European economic community will reform |
| In 1997 the city of Hong Kong will become |
| A part of the People’s Republic of China |
| In 1999, and this is no coincidence |
| The nation of Panama will control it’s own canal |
| While in the United States |
| Civil rights have collapsed at the hands of Fundamentalists |
| And national insecurity’s at an all time high |
| Helms said ban the photograph of the Piss Christ |
| It’s sacrilegious, not an art piece |
| While we all try to discern between our cup of tea |
| And what we call obscenity, the house’s legislation |
| Ripped the phoney foundation off what we thought inherent |
| Sent Joey to the Supreme Court |
| Cause he made a statement, they called it |
| Desecration of the symbol that was meant to represent |
| The freedom of so called choice and dissent |
| They almost had me believing it, they were bleeding him |
| He said, «Burn baby, burn» |
| 'Til the street Samurai said to my face |
| That any flag that’s worth a shit |
| Was woven from fire in the first place |
| Hallelujah |
