Binary State (Bern It Down!!! Bonus Track)

Factories of plastic produce society's static
Routine after routine
Spick and span
The children are laughing with eyes and ears shut
Schools and parents pass doctrines of Grow The Hell Up
No time to play
No time to lose
Week after week
Plights and plans

Sell your soul
Make a quick buck
American dream? You're shit out of luck
No honor for a military losing their lives
Being fodder for an American Reich
Money is king with no change to back it up
Plutocracy thrives off the worst of us
Silence is key in this gilded age
Reject the dissenters

Sound drowns
Sound bounds

Hear them come a-marching
Beating a drum of rotten rawhide

Look at the puppets
See how they dance
They look like little people with little pairs of pants
Watch them speak
Watch them pray
Gaze at the scrambling when they haven't been told what to say
Isn't it cute?
Isn't it neat?
Isn't it such a fucking treat?!
Isn't it fun?
Isn't it rad?
How could something publicized be any bad?!

A house divided surely cannot stand

They cite century old manuscripts
To justify their intolerance
Slavers seeking asylum
Unbeknownst to industrialization
History is catalog of predictable ironies
Morality is but a fleeting zeitgeist
Occupy the cities
Blood up to our knees
Tear down these walls
Chop down cherry trees

Taking back what was stolen
We smile as Big Brother's watching
Violence begets violence
Reciprocated gouging leave us blind
Real men fight real fights
They don't piss themselves over petty gun rights
The second revolution won't be fought with arms
Come and keep your comrade warm

Power to the people
But the people are yet to be found
Power-hungry steeples
Point to abstract nouns
Power-outlets breed disinformation

Plug in your eyes
Unplug your mind
Unpopular opinion is on the rise
Feed them your lies
Dispose of our lives
Unpublished opinion will be your demise

The Binary State
The only thing we love is our right to hate

One on one
You against us
Tyrant or patriot?
Only prying eyes judge
Become the narrative of complacency
Bow to your corporate masters

Alone, we are nothing
Together, we're a swarm
"If a plant cannot live according to its nature,
It dies; and so a man"
