Good Riddance

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
