lyrics

Suicided

The dead hand of the state
phantom limb controlled doom
decide to self-immolate
only way to make the headlines

Face of God in the sky
smoke of smoldering truth
that daily eternal life
incantations for the bread lines

Cuz genocide is in denial
while it's sleeping with you
and misery is only canonized
when it's in your rear view
but oh it's all around you child...

(Who) Set themselves alight
(Who) claiming something that the
world denied them
(Who) sticks and broken bones
(Who) a life of prostration
(Who) seemed to offer less than
suicide did
it seemed to offer less than suicide did

When you hear "improvise",
what image springs to your view?
An explosive device
culminating in a red night?

Got the youth mobilized
and killing softly ain't new
a crowded market place aisle
perfect place to air their brains, right?

Cuz ideology is probably
all that's strapped onto you
and all that martyrdom will get you
is all over the room

cuz war and terror are the bearers
of the same strange fruit
Only disparity is budgetary
tantamount to
a mom & pop vs. a corporation killing you

(Who) Under Lockheed key
(Who) Konsumterror is the new messiah
(Who) blood and gasoline
(Who) petrol refugees
(Who) the world has finally
murder-suicided

(Who) Cannon fodder for
(Who) a never ending off-shore
doom deposit
(Who) what's the difference between
(Who) war and terror
when it's you who is dying
and they've finally murder-suicided
the world has finally murder-suicided
