Omid Walizadeh, Busdriver - Shock And Awe lyrics

Hi it’s me
The Anarchist Bowling League team captain
Exactly why all of your dreams happen
Assign your ideals to extreme passions
Regimes and factions
Little greens and black ones
Open-minded student union targeted
With laser sights while they nature hike
For peace action
I jump in discussion with anti-American
Sentiment you don’t prescribe to
We’ll cough up the man made sky trash
They’ll celebrate put champagne in
A wine glass
We must renovate the campaign finance
Awareness can’t be swayed with shock and awe

Crisis? What crisis?
Code red code orange
Code yellow code pink
Don’t think just nod in agreement
A finger’s force behind that button pressed
Can have an infant’s head bludgeoned to death
We’ve all fallen victim to the
Secretary of defense’s onion breath
Sudden steps to taken civil liberties
Away from your little chickadees
Lashing fork-tongues bathe the warm guns
So eat your freedom fries
With the democracy spread
But when you look closely you see it’s
Just a maelstrom of cow dung

Hi it’s me
The Anarchist Bowling League team captain
Exactly why all of your dreams happen
Assign your ideals to extreme passions
Regimes and factions
Little greens and black ones
Open-minded student union targeted
With laser sights while they nature hike
For peace action blood thirsty Americans
We will recycle media coverage with
An encyclopedia of rubbish
So that we can put bayonets
On our fountain pen
And send away cadets so that powerful
Men’s needs can be met
Accept the manufactured consent and
It's candy wrapper content
But not me because your vinyl jacket will
Not drape over my spinal bracket
I’m the mindful lab chimp
They poke and pry and my open-eye
Hoping that my tear ducts leak
Their precious paint thinner
'Cuz when it comes to imagery
Flashfloods I’m a great swimmer
And the average American is a pragmatic
Sloth who thinks they care honestly
When the air quality’s given
Them an asthmatic cough
We have seen the outrageous
Claims made by the
Pre-recorded synthetic voice of the
Chief of staff
Turn even a mild mannered housewife
Into a warhead wrangler
And the reason we have
Is that there’s a looming threat
From an invented evildoer
Watch the confident consumers cower
There’s war because there is
No other dominant superpower
