Blackmail The Universe
This is breaking news
It appears that Air Force One was shot down
Somewhere over the Middle East this morning
By a sleeper cell of rogue terrorists
Firing a Stinger Missile

The Pilot and all passengers are unaccounted for
The President's whereabouts are presently unknown
And he is presumed missing
The Vice President, Secretary of State
And principles of the military are assembling
Our nation stands at DEFCON 3

The greatest crisis, will someone come for me?
I red-white and blew it
Unleashed revenge, my body is detained
How could anybody do this?

Betrayal, I peel away the days
Medals are useless, Uncle Sam's forgotten me
I'm not important, no one will ever come
I'll never be found, God get me out of this hell

Nuclear battlefields energized
Cold wars are heating up again
The tension's mounting
People, lift up your fists in revenge

The stage is set
Who'll be the first to blink?
We can't go to war
Remember that Vietnam thing?

Peace at any price
With a gun to your head, bang-bang
Weakness runs in your family
Well, what runs in mine is death

This is your five minute warning
Burn all your classified documents
And if cooler heads don't prevail
First strike from a political dead man

Appeasement only makes
The aggressor more aggressive
He understands only one language - action!
And he respects only one word - force!

No sign of them stopping
No time for back channel communiques
We need all the help we can get
Air strikes and invasions!
Retaliate, I say!

The will of good men cannot counter
The terrible strain of war

Blackmail the universe with the greatest of calamities
Awaken those sleeping giants in the dust of the ground
With their skin destroyed, unjust to innocence
Lawful possessor of the world's last 24 hours

Terror and ugliness reveal what death really means
And in hatred you see men as they really are
If chosen over Heaven, Earth will have been for them
All along only another region of hell

Kick The Chair
Dawn breaks evenly today
On the truth and the lie
All rise, court's in session
We're hanging someone high

Justice means nothing today
Now that the courts are for sale
Pick a crime from the menu
Pick a sentence and defend you
And pay up the down payment called bail
The system's for sale

Kick the chair, the rope's tight
Just like one quick wrench
The tooth is out
Friend or foe I gotta hang them dead
Or they'll come back around
Kick it!

The court's wrong when it keeps track
Of victories and defeats
The press that never rest, just waits
For somebody's soul they can eat

Justice means nothing today
Now that the jury's for sale
Guilty or not, the verdict's a lie
You're going to jail
The system has failed
