Retrograde

MISSION COMPLETE!!!
going to hell in a hand-basket
living everyday like we’re already in the casket
we hear but no one listens
listless


MISSION COMPLETE!!!
they got us to follow and believe
idiot’s authority
set the standards to the lowest common denominator
call it equality

manipulate through fear
dominate through stupidity


MISSION COMPLETE!!!

and they sit in their mansions counting their money made from your sweat and blood
and they sit in their temples counting their pro(phe)fits made from your misguided love
and they spit in our faces, complacent

slander the honest man
burden the working man
ignore the problem, it will go away
shut them all up
hide behind your god
your religion doesn’t match your politics
fucking heretics and fucking lunatics
find better lies to hide behind

belittle and point the finger
dehumanize and pull the trigger
corporate government with corporate gods
evangelists and war profiteers
shaking hands with political frauds
cut the deal
they know what’s best for you

they all know what’s best for us
because it’s in god they trust
