The Cavity of America

Blood and oil fuse turmoil 

We suffocate on years of industry, bad credit, overpopulation 

What machines took from us, loans gave to us 

What chemicals pollute our bodies, statistics aspire to say  

What irresponsible bankers penetrated 

Stole from the masses our freedom, our earnings, our dignity 

Recession brings them money 

So let's give into the media Gods 

Make the television our altar, pray to it every evening 

In hopes that Hollywood will create our faith for us 

Education makes you think, and thinking won't get you into heaven 

Thinking makes you partisan, a drone for the verbal civil war 

Divided we stand, divided we fall 

The cavity fractures deeper 

 

Medicine is an industry 

So let's give in to mental illness 

Make pills our water, drink in the conformity 

Make us fat, lazy, impaired fearlings in the factory of society 

In government we trust 

Ignore the conspiracies and increase your debt 

For eight years we were spoonfed the seeds of totalitarianism 

Of lies and devils in disguise we know little about 

Why didn't they listen to us in 2003? 

War brings them money 

So just let them scare everyone 

With accusations of terrorism, crisis, disaster 

They knew what we were getting ourselves into 

They knew it far better than we did 

Terrorism is the new communism 

And you can't win a war on an idea 

The cavity fractures deeper 

 

So open your mouth 

Gobble up the sins of imperialism 

Get a loan, take your meds, worship the television 

Relax, God is in control 

God is the answer to the questions we are afraid to ask 

The cavity of America deepens and spirals 

Into a dark era of implied slavery and artistic void 

The American Dream explodes into a Godless fabrication 

Of dream exploitation and media whoring 

Change is promised, but revolution promises more 

We are trapped in a beautiful world 

Shadowed by illusions propelled by the machetes of greedy men 

But in their weakness shines our strength 

And the strength of others shine when we are present 

That's all we can offer in a rich, tired world 

The cavity aggravates the Earth
