Painting the White House Black

Now stand atop your soapbox

And just tell us what we want to hear

And talk in circles

Until the words become unclear

We can afford to be hypnotised by design

To be left uncured

There is no hope for us

Further down the ladder

We fall and splatter

And gather the remains just to feed again

Why dont you tell me

What it's like to be a free man?

What it's like to have the whole damn world

In the centre of your motherfucking hand

So try and tell me of the American dream

Tell me what it's like to live inside a castle

Made of motherfucking sand

Now smile for the camera

And talk about your masterplan

That we must follow

Because the hour is at hand

We have no time to be patronised

By the eyes and the smile so pure

Pulling on the lever

You think you're clever

You bartered our beliefs just to be a king

Why dont you tell me

What it's like to be a free man?

What it's like to have the whole damn world

In the centre of your motherfucking hand

So try and tell me of the American dream

Tell me what it's like to live inside a castle

Made of motherfucking sand

I can heal a world by killing you (2x)

I can fix a fucking world by killing you

I can heal the world by killing you

If you live by the now then you die by the strong

I can heal the world by killing you

Now this bullet is going straight fucking through

I can fix the fucking world by killing you

You decide who lives and dies, don't you?

I can heal the world by killing you

I'll cleanse the world, motherfucker

I can heal the world by killing you (2x)

I can fix the world by killing you

I can heal the world by killing you

Why dont you tell me

What it's like to be a dead man?

What it's like to have a motherfucking truck

In the centre of your motherfucking head

You tried to sell me

Like an American good man

Tell me what it's like to be another body

Buried deep under the scams of another politician
