Dangerous times
When the talking is done
When the **** hits the fan
When the lights all go out.
The strategy is to make us see our
brothers as enemies,
which frees the blame from the ones
who start wars in my name.
We collude with them by buying their lies
by learning to despise,
by seeing our brothers through the
warmongers eyes.
And when the lights do go out and
the **** hits the fan and the talking is
done,
whose son will you ****?
or will you even care?
