Damned by the wars we wage to a similar fate of
the states we imitate. Forgotten faster than
Rome's walls came tumbling down. Administering
"shock and awe" with Tsunami bombs never
did stand a chance, When I was floored at once by
the one-two punch of benevolent terror. This is
what I meant by "dying" this is why I'm
terrified of trying. If we just play dead, they
promise they'll stop when we've had enough. But
someone's got to teach the world about Texas-sized
justice. Don't mistake this regret for weakened
heart. We're watching how it works and we're
taking notes. What students we've become! Don't
mistake this regret for weakened heart. Our
repertoire of chaos and playing dumb. Don't think
that we never saw you displace your mistakes at
home. Buckle in hold tight, listen up, and go
pre-empt yourself sir. One more tune for the peace

if we want to take their ear... (change the speech
we use) cut off off, hold it near. And scream.
Into darkened streets we pour, so easy to ignore.
Gotta speak in kind to blood, bombs, and bottom
lines. And that's just fine, because we've got the
time. I'm sharpening my tongue now. We hang, we
fall. Singing last words under breath, but... we
hang we fall. And the rope they used came right
from us. Where's Nero with his violin now? I know
to run but I can't explain how. I've been looking
for a way out of this one, truthful, good, and
mild. Won't say where I went wrong. I am the least
of any evil that you'll fight. Won't say when
we've had enough. Won't beg when you've silence
us. Our words will become firebombs. As you wage
your wars, I swear that's how we will fight ours.
