Hybrid War
So let's start with that gruesome carnival
Of flowers, flags, God and sons
Class hatred abetted by a hero's moral rhetoric
To overthrow and cast down the so called ""felonious""
Sold as ""the voice of the people""
Yeah, how it was strewed by the broadcast crew
Five families, more than five decades to tame
America's backyard again
Oh, subservient South
And what about that intrepid civic role?
The riot of the yellow ones
Ridded of vandalistic impulses,
A party of revolutionist counter-rebellion!
Oh, so laudable!
From where it all began
To deep sea scraps of our guarantees and last vows
We've reached beneath - the already sold - layer of salt
In deep sea sinking labor rights
By a flagrant intermission to future
And 20 years from now
We see horizons closed
We see horizons closed
Police repression is the only rule
We see horizons closed
Dismantling faster now
We see horizons closed
Our heritage:
Shock!
In deep sea sinking labor rights
By a flagrant intermission to future
An intermission
And at their banquet to-sell loots from this hybrid war
Press, bureaucrats and CEOs make that old story rebound
How many of you remain unharmed in this prospect?
As the rings
As the sheaves deciding
As that same old tiny elite rules
Either a lousy or a beloved to come
All await
As all motion is still,
The same mainspring.
