lyrics

The liberal party line is as faulty as the right
To be true to your own politic
And to be untrue to the people, it
Is a tragic mistake
All those people did make
And the rock and roll stars
Want pride with their money and guitars

They still down’t know about Christmas
Nobody there’s got any iPod
But they know about what electricity is
From their 9,000 volt kisses
No dancing in the streets
Just dying in the streets
Leaving bodies of children for the hyenas to eat
I guess we did get fooled again
But nobody’s facing up to it

I think back to the summer of ’85
And it’s worse than the day that the music died
Because it was the day that the music lied
Not the first but the very worst time
Rock was supposed to tear down the walls
But this fortified the government armor in militant halls
The musical notes are just blowing in the wind
And the food is diverted and there’s no stairway to heaven

And this country’s gotten all aided-out
With all the problems still around
The CDs sell the bank accounts grow
And everywhere downward spiral the souls
Anarchy never exists where it’s really needed
And the devil’s power goes uncontested
But I’m not surprised that it was a lie
Because in this world there’s but one Truth left to find
