A Murder Of Crows - 3 lyrics

It's lights, places, camera, action
Point-blank political assassination
As usual the public tongue is
In it's rightful ear
While insecure minds hold social fears
Father figures patronize confused
Countries who realize
They don't know what the
Hell they're talking about
America, the living example of
The idolizers' Doppler effect
We can't prepare for or prevent war
We know that twenty years ago he said "tell
Them Nixon's gone mad, "
And so they started to
Bomb everything they had

Frustrated fireworks inside your head
Left the fingerprints of shadows
On the still-life dead
Smokey temptations and lingerie pills
Keep a large man wealthy in Beverley Hills
Now they shut heavy metal
Mouths of lyrical obscenities
All about sex and drugs and other affinities
But that's exactly what they should be about

Religious safety shields and a
Political sex life
While you hide the pictures of
You and your ex-wife
You take too many sleeping pills
You know what happens it's Christmas time
I find the scissors and the scotch
The shaving cream attempts to stop
The hands of the clock
Innocent bystanders is a
Contradiction in terms
And openness is a nonfiction word

Petting our parachutes and purring cats
Doing the breaststroke at night
Waiting for something to snap
Well we don't have one night stands
Just excuses that we made
Like we don't have education
Just career hit-lists
Hey John Mitchell, I hope you have a nice day
The campus is beautiful out
Here at Kent State
Now that it's quiet you can
Go about your business

So scalded science wait's for intervention
To bite the disease of separation
Oblivious survivors will take one in three
It's the great communicator
Which speaks silently

We tried to ignore it for eighty months
But do you realize what we have done?
Was it because it was a normal
Or we thought it'd go away
Like George Will, one of his better days
So you fill out your tax form, W-4
And you know exactly what it's going for
Give me one good reason why you do it

Baby Britain's mistress curses will fill
The lines with missing persons
Sixteen thousand in West Germany play Red
Rover with the Pershing Three
Play Red Rover with the Perishing Three
Play Red Rover with the Perishing Three
