I got the flag in black and white With one blue stripe I fight the good fight I know Obama's coming to take my guns I ignore that cops are paid with public funds Obama himself is gonna knock on my door It won't be a scared cop of this I'm sure After every shooting my arsenal gets bigger And I'm waiting for the liberals with my finger on the trigger The only lives that matter are the ones that follow laws Cops are not infallible your theory's got flaws If he didn't wanna die he shouldn't have jaywalked Thank God our public servant was loaded and locked Don't Tread on Me Don't Tread on Me I fancy myself revolutionary I support the troops and the boys in blue So when the revolution comes I won't know what to do In my head I was shooting the IRS And I love the ones who put the public under duress Cops uphold law and order for us all Laws put upon us by a liberal state that must fall The only lives that matter are the ones that follow laws Cops are not infallible your theory's got flaws If he didn't wanna die he shouldn't have jaywalked Thank God our public servant was loaded and locked Stockholm Syndrome you're in love with your aggressor You say you hate oppression but you love your oppressor You say you hate Big Government's repressive hand Got a public love affair with Downpresser Man Stockholm Syndrome you're in love with your aggressor You say you hate oppression but you love your oppressor You say you hate Big Government's repressive hand Got a public love affair with Downpresser Man The only lives that matter are the ones that follow laws Cops are not infallible your theory's got flaws If he didn't wanna die he shouldn't have jaywalked Thank God our public servant was loaded and locked

We've got a satellite pointed at you We've got you on TV and you ain't got a clue We will always be the ones watching what you do If you speak against us we'll choke you blue We've got a billion terabytes of your info Terms and Conditions what are you in for? When my income is getting low Gather information on you and sell it to Geico Welcome to the new era of secret police When you're reading the blog saying I'm so mean I'm on the other side of that screen We're watching your wife flick her bean Hear that we know what you're doing Irene If you don't want the video leaked to the PTA You'll listen to every goddamn word we say Blackball blacklist blackball today We'l never let your dirty secrets go away Welcome to the new era of secret police

Tell me tell me what I believe Please tell me who I am Tell me the meaning of what I perceive Moral dogma is a sham Not enough up there in my head To tell me whats in my heart Maybe maybe I'm being mislead I'd question it but I'm not smart We Require Moral Leadership We Require Moral Leadership We Require Moral Leadership We're Weak in the Head Tell me tell me what's right and wrong I default to you because you know whats best What I should know all along You keep me in check with the rest I was terrified when I saw things Differently from how you taught them So I tightened up my puppet strings Let you nip where ever thought may stem Puppet strings in the shape of a cross Puppet strings of the Red White and Blue Puppet strings of your party lines Puppet string of your social group They pull you in every which way They command every word you say They dictate your every opinion They will make you into a minion

I went down to Saint James Infirmary I saw my baby there She was stretched out on a long marble table So sweet, so white, and so fair I went out to see her doctor She's very low he said I went back to see my baby And Great God she was lying there dead I went down to Old Joe's Barroom On the corner by the square They were serving drinks there as usual And the usual crowd was there On my left stood Big Joe McKennedy His eyes were bloodshot red He turned to the crowd around him These were the very words he said Let her go! Let her go! God bless her Where ever she may be I'm gonna search this whole wide world over I'll never find another girl for me When I die won't you please bury me In my Stetson high top hat Put a $20 gold piece on my watch chain So the gang will know I died standing pat I want six crap shooters for pall bearers Six chorus girls to sing me a song I want a jazz band on my hearse wagon To raise Hell as we roll along Well this is the end of me story So let's have another round of booze And if anyone asks just tell them I've got the Saint James Infirmary Blues.

Little Doll 03:46
I've got this little doll with your hair on it I've got this little doll with your hair on it I cook up all it's food in a black cauldron I starve it all alone until I feed him it I've got this secret room where the lights are dim I've got this secret room where the lights are dim Got a black leather notebook I write my ideas in And it's all leading up to my greatest sin I've got all these needles gonna drive 'em through your skull Without my little games my life feels so dull I've got all this money but I can't take it with me So I've gotta feel like God however that may be I've got this little snake in a cage it has no name I've go this little snake in a cage it has no name I've got a lot of candles but snuffed they remain I've got the corpse of the man who said that I'm insane I've got his bones and skull arranged on the floor I've got his bones and skull arranged on the floor I try to call the Devil they say he'll give me more But I always just teleport to the circle on the floor

I'm the In-vitro introduction to the herd I'm the man standing where the lines are blurred I'm the black drop in the tube of white paint Of the disillusioned I'm the patron saint Am I the cancer, am I the cure Am I the sinner, am I the pure Am I the factoy, am I the product Am I sane or am I psychotic I've watch tides go in a gain acclaim I've seen different things that are all the same I watch bees flock to their hive Shocked evolution let them survive Am I the cancer, am I the cure Am I the sinner, am I the pure Am I the factoy, am I the product Am I sane or am I psychotic Why can't civilization be civilized Marching and smiling to our demise The bridge that ran across the divide Rotted away when it got baptized
