Newstand Rock (Exposition)

Now America's got a brand new war
Can anybody tell me what we're fighting for
Time to manufacture the illusion of safety
Don't fear, just consume to uphold the economy
Yeah! We always buy everything that they're sellin'
Everything that they're sellin'

Paying for the bombs that fall on our children
Now we're headed for our own demise
Dreaming of another mushroom cloud horizon
And that's the bottom line
So it's time to cancel my subscription
Just can't stomach anymore of their lies
Violence equals violence and it's no solution
And that's the bottom line
Yeah! That's the bottom line

Now turn on the radio and hear what it's saying
Another hollow candy-coated melody about nothing
Easier to sell, don't require you to think
Dumbed down drool, a facade success
Yeah! We're still buying everything that they're sellin'
Everything that they're sellin'

Now I'm looking for the truth and solid meaning
So I can scrape the glass of both of my eyes
Stuffed to the gills with a false sense of substance
And now I realize
So it's time to cancel my subscription
I just can't stomach anymore of the lies
Wealth: the spectacle of a greedy solution
And that's the bottom line
Aw! The bottom line

Now I'm not buying anything that they're sellin'
Not giving in this time, this time, this time

Paying for the bombs that fall on our children
Now we're headed for our own demise
Dreaming of another mushroom cloud horizon
And that's the bottom line
So it's time to cancel my subscription
Just can't stomach anymore of the lies
Violence equals violence and it's no solution
And that's the bottom line
Aw! That's the bottom line
Yeah! That's the bottom line
The line!
