Try to turn away   From the spectacle of living everyday   The fear you cultivate   The jingoist hysteria   The lust for blood for god and state      Indoctrinate the children with your vitriol and lies   Then poison their humanity put blinders on their eyes   Flesh blood-burning lights a propaganda scam   Sequestered and obedient to god and Uncle Sam      First we need a threat   To the democratic interest we protect   Create an air of fear   So we can vilify then justify   Support the troops who fight and die   They lie we die
