In love, in lust
In bed, in dust
We lie together
Blind and deaf
Mere sheep
Till the day of death............

Tell them I'm Government
That I did came
Only peace and virtue
Flow from my name
And if you don't listen
It's a god damned shame.
Far from fame
I cure thy lame
The youth I'll train
To die
To fight
To pillage
To plight
With pen
With knife
From darkness til light
To believe and receive
To kill that which you conceive
With anger and greed
An unstoppable seed
Drug and arm these streets
The bass and the beats
Under the Cadillac seats
Next to the stamps with which you eat............

God is online
A friend of mine
In a lighted box
With airwaves of angels
Joining both you and me
Why can't you see
The bullshit they feed
The bulletins and tickers
Lollipops and stickers
Flashes and flickers of Truth.
But we don't see
For our eyes are covered
When we are mothered by Them.
