"symbolized, patronized, and then tossed out dry   revolution or humiliation   promise the bread, the wine, a life that shines   if they only vote in the proper direction   pick them up from the floor to get knocked down again   when you're bored with your mission and a new one begins   ride- your new thrill ride   smug- it suits you well   god- in your new science lab   master- of your new promise land   echo care and fake some tears to show up your opponent   throwing bones with bread and circus to disguise the proof   you only empower yourself when those in need become your new   test subjects in your smear campaign 101   recycle control from their hands to your own, every word is   dropping empty   promise again focus away from day to day for your own ends   their means are dying   shame- the act is old   count- your saintly sermon calls   saint- for your own rewards   bring- the mercy merchants down"
