Line Breaks (...and Dictatorships)

The white list of the foreign dictatorship
We sing, Kill, kill, kill, kill
Police the dead alleyways, the homeless, their bloody noses
Sons, Fathers, Sisters, Mothers, dying
For the greater Illuminati, dead
Crazy, driven insane by political drivel
Vote, vote, vote
Hell No.

Skulls and Bones, the preacher preaching
The wall unresponsive, choir singing
Preaching to the choir, Sees I
Manifest destiny
Divine Right

Oh, did I forget to mention, I too, am Christian?

Iraqis, dying
Americans, dying
People, Dying
Pawns on the chessboard
Black and White
Smoke and Fire
But is there evil on the checkerboard?

Trust me, you are innocent

Ebony and Ivory
Together in perfect harmony
Harmony, so peaceful
So pleasant

Silhouettes, dance!
No one will see the details of your scars,
For you are but a shadow of the passing times
With a leader dictating your every move
And only Change can be the key
Says the likely runner up

Wish him well, wish him well
Honest men die faster with a smile on their face
Oh yes, they do
