When cheaters and liars rise to the top of the polls When genocidal speech wanna be torturers let their goals unfold advocating killing relatives Something every drug lord knows When words don't mean anything Images are everything When words and images disconnect When words don't work It's what we call psychosis in the psych biz We're all thinking That can't happen here A cousin they call Germany Refined Civilized Educated Defined art Music Ethics Found out exactly what every **** head knows when you go too far There's gonna be advanced window patrol Getting out the duct tape Wrapping up the house Can't let any light in or out You may end up in leather restraints On a plastic sheet on a metal bed America better call the crisis hotline Stand in line for same day services 5150/Legal 2000/72 hour commitment Being a danger to self and others Rapidly becoming gravely disabled Hold on, I'll write that Hold now Bring out the atypicals Risperdal Zyprexa Serequil Take an Ativan Take a Zanax **** it take a ****** If you don't come back down now Find the ground You'll be okay In a decade or three The suffering of course Will be burns in the third degree Psychosis can be unkind All civilizations have their day Incline Recline Decline It can't happen here? Chaotic brutality knocking on the door You gotta know what's in store We need an intervention Breathe it back on in It can still be okay Reality check Words sometimes mean something And people sometimes mean what they say And though Images dissolve Evolve Fracture and split Those that are seeing and hearing What's going on are holding their breath Wondering how crazy it's really all gonna get.
