What You Wanted

What you
What you wanted

A hard plastic morality
A virtual mentality
Policies to elevate
Antagonize and feed the hate
In darkened jails and hallowed halls
Hypocrisy explains it all
Playing sovereign with a drawl
Flag draped coffins to enthrall

I know
I know
I know
I know what you wanted
I know
I know
I know
I know what you wanted
I know
I know
I know
I know what you wanted
I know
I know
I know
I know what you wanted

You delegate opacity with stupefied audacity
Ditto-heads are told their views
A canopy of subterfuge
Photo ops will mesmerize
Cut the press right down to size
Hide the truth and raise the threat
The lemmings ain’t seen nothin’ yet

I know
I know
I know
I know what you wanted
I know
I know
I know
I know what you wanted
I know
I know
I know
I know what you wanted
I know
I know
I know
I know what you wanted

Your bombs are intellectual
You doctrine ineffectual
Subjugate the working class
Repatriate the sheiks en-masse
Arm chair soldiers reminisce
To neo-con apologists
Flight deck suits cannot disguise
The crimson oil slick of lies

I know
I know
I know
I know what you wanted
I know
I know
I know
I know what you wanted
I know
I know
I know
I know what you wanted
I know
I know
I know
I know what you wanted
