Complicit in the things we do to
further God knows what,
and what the hell has God to do with
what's going on?
what's going on is what we are complicit in
killing
killing
shekel or shilling,you take it,make war and
you don't know what for but you do it,we do it,
we don't but we do
and that's what comes through,
most people do not have a clue
or couldn't care less.

There's a butterfly in the red sky and
it's bleeding
so we feed it with lies and make it despise those
who don't fit the bill,
and the bill for this war must be laid at the door
of those who are
responsible and responsibility is no joke,
those who crack mirrors and make smoke
to cover their tracks,fail.
I see the trail through the sky as does
the bleeding butterfly
and the missile hits,
fits another bill
will
it ever
end.
