Cause the rear rises up from the corporate slab    all proud and flawless for you   "Hello, boy," she says and the pack dogs gather    slobbering around at her heels    and the women all try to stretch their faces    trying to look more like her    and then chanting her name    they hurl themselves    into the all-consuming fire.       So onwards to the peace to end all peaces, yeah,    onward to Midas' hole    where the treasures of the world reproduce themselves    like a hoard of cancerous cells    you can track the spread of the virus    by the news reader's colorful attire    let's go there now, reporting life    in the all-consuming fire.       so save us from these justifications    every one of them is a lie    Pax Americana rains and rains    from two miles in the sky    men shave their heads    and pay at the desk    and wait for the orders to come    but there's still no word, there's still no word    there's still no word from the front.       And a billion hungry eyes they are watching us    from beyond the citadel walls    we found a thousand ways to burn up the planet    and we're gonna try them all    the captain abandoned ship years ago    but nobody thought to tell    and so the band plays on, we sail gently west    into the all-consuming fire.       Yeah, culture in two dimensions    is all that we require, because it burns so well,    it burns so well in the all-consuming fire.
