Cycles of Pain

Uh, I will never listen to this album again
It's crazy man
It's like literally they're committing-
This is, these could be considered terroristic threats

So analytic, aligned with the center
A real hard-on for being pragmatic
So when they sign a new Patriot Act
I'm sure your thoughts will get lost in the static

I know a kid with daddy problems
Who turned himself into a national martyr
His old man was an Eagle Scout
Who came of age under President Carter

We're all born into different prisons
Different cycles of pain
We're all owned by the type of people that we don't know
By the people we hate

So analytic, aligned with the center
A real hard-on for being pragmatic
So if a stealth bomber snuffed out your family
Kalashnikovs might not seem so dramatic

You got a kid with daddy problems
Who turned himself into a national martyr
I guess politics are always personal
You just have to extrapolate farther

We're all born into different prisons
Different cycles of pain
We're all owned by the type of people that we don't know
By the people we hate
