Propagandhi - Victory Lap lyrics

When the flames engulfed the
Home of the brave
The stampede toward the border was in vain
Faces palmed, faces paled
As the wall they said would make
Them great could not be scaled

When the free market fundamentalist
Steps on a roadside bomb outside Kandahār
Bleeding to death i swear to Ayn Rand
I’ll ask if he needs an invisible hand

You say not all cops, you say not all men
Yeah, you insist it's
Only ninety-nine percent
There’s nothing new for you to learn
Okay, sit back, relax and watch it all burn!

The colossal waste of energy
Talent upon the talented
Freedom upon the free
This whole damn beautiful life
Wasted on you and me

God, are you there?
It’s me, in the denim jacket
Are you receiving my prayers
Through the noise and cosmic static?
God, are you there? Can you confirm I’m on
The right goddamn planet?

The day the rapture came, a forgettable event
The clouds
They opened up and not a single person went
To the chromatic whistle of
A carousel calliope
Stomp the citizens of our
Clown idiot dingbat society
