Try to turn away

From the spectacle of living everyday

The fear you cultivate

The jingoist hysteria

The lust for blood for god and state

Indoctrinate the children with your vitriol and lies

Then poison their humanity put blinders on their eyes

Flesh blood-burning lights a propaganda scam

Sequestered and obedient to god and Uncle Sam

First we need a threat

To the democratic interest we protect

Create an air of fear

So we can vilify then justify

Support the troops who fight and die

They lie we die
