Tight Lines

Gimme some money some jerky rhythm
My god is on top of the wholesale prison
All alone at Landmark, alone again
I’m sitting with my own best friend
I’m over and under again
I complete my exit my end

Brink job homeless cross the clinic with hopeless
On Medicaid reshuffle dreams line of control bursting at the seams

Images broadcast worldwide
The national imagination divide
The progressive reputation
A rally for a nation

The border patrol the border patrol
To serve man no longer in control
The border patrol the border patrol
To serve man no longer in control
No longer in control

Imperial one, take the lotion take the fun
Begone boxer rebellion begins god of son

Images broadcast worldwide
The national imagination divide
The progressive reputation
A rally for a nation

Building on bumbling
John the Revelator
Southern strategy approved by Hannity

Also ran artist, get back to your office
Also ran artist, get back to your office
Counts in my songs
Counts in my songs

The border patrol the border patrol
To serve man no longer in control
The border patrol the border patrol
To serve man no longer in control
No longer in control

The American facelift back for a spin
The American facelift the original sin
The American facelift begin the beguine

Skyline Motor Inn gone again
Last chance among friends
Dozens of drummers name the names
Of Batmen and Women the gentle breeze
Under orders protect property
The federal mocking of you and me
Another long night in the sea of humanity

Fire those pepper balls create some shock and awe
Cover the outer wall with a graffiti conscience call
Call it two world views battle in the pews
Who got more than you the henchmen news?

‘I can’t walk outside without being in fear for my life
I am worried for my life every time I walk outside’
The last vestige of life hitchin’ a ride
What’s gripping America
The role of the police
The roll of the dice
Election seasons pageantry
The front lines of vice

The USA midwife
The violence-sum-game
The spot lights projecting
The tear gas explains
How the metal ball bearings
And the lasers of light
Are no match for the end
Of America’s night

I rise!
I rise to despise!
I rise!
I rise!
Friendly take those hands off me

11th and 46th chicks turn adorable tricks
Welcome back you distant past
Dump problems in the river
Waste can HK deliver
Break it all down that National sound
Very friendly, break down friendly
That National sound very friendly

Blocks of wood and concrete
Stay together stay tight we do this every night
Stay together stay tight we do this every night
