lyrics

don’t fall asleep, you’ll overshoot the beltway
(dirty city, this dirty town)
and if you waver from the plan on retribution day
(hell to pay, there’ll be hell to pay)
the motor inn – there is no better cover
(get the one with the mini-bar)
out of the wilderness we go!

don’t play the victim, you don’t wanna go there
(no you didn’t, oh no you don’t)
you will just get eaten by an even bigger bear
(precious honey is what they love)
what is that smell? son, that’s the future burning.
(this is what we’ve been waiting for)
we’re killing commies with a phone!

so much for the flowers
so much for the candles
it always comes down to
what God and Beauty can’t handle

now you’ve got a finger
and we’ve got a trigger
if we bring them together
we can make this place much bigger

it don’t make a sound, the voice is like a feeling
(talk too much, yeah you talk too much)
it’s the candlelight that’s dancing on the ceiling
(in the body, it’s in the blood)
our boys can sing an old man’s song!

so much for the flowers
so much for the candles
it always comes down to
what God and Beauty can’t handle

oh captain, my captain
teach me how to use this contraption
we know where they’re hiding
aluminum siding
