The Great And The Good
Stiniking to the bowels of high heaven
Creeping to the giants of status
Guarding protection of interests, not you
Not you or anything that might
Be misconstruced as help
Marching through the ashes of conquests
Slapping the backs of the empire men
Selling our consent
In the process that's you
That is you and everything
You'd be reduced to do
A pledge is a pledge
But only 'til it doesn't suit your friends
The art of double-talk
Adamant on what you really meant
A pledge is a pledge
Is a pledge, is a pledge
For lesser, for poorer
Pluck out their eyes, they offend
Dumb animals can't precede
The lucre of barbaric tests
Big noise says jump now
The chasm is never too high or wide
The corporate slow-killer
Punished with a lenient smile
A pledge is a pledge
Is a pledge, is a pledge
The arrogance, the hand in hands
Of despotic freaks that defend
An oversight where human rights
Fall at the fence of good trade
Yes man? Always
Drop the high and mighty fade?
Do the decent thing
Consider mouthing one word of truth
Blow open the grand scheme
Yes man? Always
Yes man? Always
Yes man? Always
Drop the high and mighty fade?
Do the decent thing
Consider mouthing one word of truth
Blow open the grand scheme
A pledge is a pledge
Is a pledge, is a pledge
The man is the bubble
Smiles berates the condemned
Back to his crusade
Fights off more cries of dissent
