In san francisco you can be mayor at 18    But ya gotta be 26 to drive a cab       What goes on    Is not what we're told to see       Patrick henry said "Give me liberty or death"    A the time he owned 65 slaves       The myth is real - Let's eat       Fake patriots say you can't burn the flag    But guess who whines the most    'bout having to pay taxes    To their country       Decay    Decline    Cover up    Refine    Dow Jones    Where's home    When everything we lean on    Is up for sale       Ad lady purrs, "Drink our liquor, you'll get laid"    Next billboard says, "Don't drink and drive"       What goes on is not what we're told to see       Panic! Panic! War on drugs    But you can buy beer at gas stations       The myth is real - let's eat       Pagan priests first used perfume    To mask the smell of burning flesh    Back in ancient Rome    The statues were unscrewed    Leaders change - just replace the heads       Decay    Decline    Cover up    Refine    We are    In life    Roulette wheel    Or the ball inside       Anyone out there stopped to think    What our lives might be like today    If Karl Marx was as good a salesman    As Walt Disney       The bacon brought    You home to cook    The lobster lets    Itself get boiled    Looks too hard to climb    Out of the pot with all the crabs    Fear the unknown    Who taught you that?       One hundred million trees a year    Get made into junk mail no one reads    What goes on is not what we're told to see       Half of all americans don't read books    I'm one of them, but you're reading this       The myth is real - let's eat       General Robert E. Lee    Freed his slaves before Grant freed his    Brian Willson's legs    Severed by a train    The crew sues him for stress       Levis were once made of hemp *    From the marijuana plant    One acre makes four times more paper    Than an acre of trees       More protein than soy beans    Threat to logging companies    Du Pont and tobacco barons    Got it banned in '37       The world is made of connections    So many sheep in wolf's clothing    Scary times are never dull    How long before our empire falls       No one wants the Pentagon    Toilets for six hundred bucks    Japanese spend twice as much    On pinball as defense       Meanwhile concerned citizens    In Albany, Oregon    Try to ban a book    'Cos it makes fun of Santa Claus       We're told 80% of people like the President in the polls    While only 15% believe he's in control    And 64% of lowans surveyed    Want to be reincarnated as themselves       Wowee...
