Our rights have been taken away Only our lefts remain We've been suckered punched from the Belt now dance with two left feet of pain The Ballroom will be a Bombroom A fireant nest in the clay Say one word against it and swarms of icy workers will come and strip your flesh away The Emperor is standing naked His lies radiate the truth His asbestos skin reflects the dementia On me and you and us and them Every night a nightmare Every day is worse God is looking down formulating a curse

Our rights have been taken away Only our lefts remain We've been suckered punched from the Belt now dance with two left feet of pain The Ballroom will be a Bombroom A fireant nest in the clay Say one word against it and swarms of icy workers will come and strip your flesh away The Emperor is standing naked His lies radiate the truth His asbestos skin reflects the dementia On me and you and us and them Every night a nightmare Every day is worse God is looking down formulating a curse
