[00:01.28] Hey Jackboot!!!
[00:05.17] **** Your WAR!!
[00:06.93] Cause I'm fat and in love
[00:09.09] and no bombs are fallin’ on me for sure.
[00:12.80] But I'm scared to death
[00:14.80] that I’m livin' a life not worth dying for.
[00:18.37] And your plow shear.
[00:20.05] It's a sword.
[00:21.95] And its wide arcing swing chops the heads off of many things.
[00:25.70] Mono crops... Laughter roars.
[00:29.01] Oh high hilarity!.
[00:31.04] Oh muck bury me!!
[00:32.80] Oh standard bearer carry me burnin’ home from another tour!!
[00:40.10]
[00:41.09] Go ahead put your Red Dress on.
[00:47.50] Days of White Robes have come and gone,
[00:52.87] come and gone.
[00:55.23] Oh you rivers,
[00:57.67] oh you waters run.
[01:01.44] Come bear witness
[01:04.21] to the Whore of Babylon!
[01:08.33]
[01:23.64] "Hey Slave" They called.
[01:28.02] And we caved.
[01:29.89] We answered.
[01:31.69] To a new name.
[01:33.89] Shout it loud shout it lame!
[01:35.68] But blackface it.
[01:37.24] You’re such a good dancer.
[01:38.97] Oh you’re a star.
[01:41.33] You’re carnival.
[01:43.04] Jacaranda petals fall.
[01:46.13] Mix with the blood of the saints
[01:48.60] shot down in the square.
[01:50.29] Don't track it in
[01:51.37] on the soles of your shoes.
[01:53.04] When you’re dragged into the back of this car!
[01:54.63]
[01:55.48] Go ahead put your Red Dress on.
[02:01.00] Days of white robes have come and gone,
[02:07.11] come and gone.
[02:08.54] Oh you rivers,
[02:11.56] oh you waters run.
[02:15.70] Come bear witness to the Whore of Babylon!
[02:22.30]
[02:29.82] It's a trap.
[02:32.72] That much is plain.
[02:34.52] Still, maybe send snapshots
[02:36.87] of all your sweet pain.
[02:38.79] Playin’ tortuous games.
[02:40.70] It goes: Lense. Light. Fame.
[02:42.44] Read my names on your lips.
[02:44.17] When the man cracks the whip.
[02:46.03] And you'll all shake your hips.
[02:47.87] And you'll all dance to this.
[02:49.61] Without making a fist.
[02:51.40] And I know that it sounds mundane.
[02:54.30] But it's a stone cold shame.
[02:56.89] How they got you tame,
[02:58.65] and they got me tame.
[03:00.38]
[03:01.51] So go ahead put your Red Dress on.
[03:08.23] Days of white robes come and gone,
[03:13.78] come and gone.
[03:15.39] Oh you rivers,
[03:18.10] oh you waters run.
[03:22.55] Come bear witness to the Whore of Babylon!!
[03:29.25]
