Never Rest In Peace

Hard persuasion, interrogation

They call it what they will

They just don’t call it torture

All the same it fits the bill

A man will tell you anything

When faced with pain and fear

While isolated separated

From all they hold dear

Tooth for tooth & eye for eye

Makes us all the same

Political war criminals

We elect and know their names

To police the worlds insanity

When at home there’s a mess

Where incarcerating innocents

Is the one thing we do best?

We must have these fucking criminals

All doing real time

No suspended-sentence cover-ups

For brutal wicked crimes

United States hypocrisy

Got straight A’s on the test

& our corporate corruption

Is quite simply the best

We’ll go down like the Salem Witches

Proven innocent

Then you’ll gasp the ugly truth of

Just how your tax dollars have been spent

& we’re so good at internment

It’s so hard to concentrate

Trading blood for oil

To construct our police state

Protecting the environment

Like our civil liberties

We’ll show the world our freedom

Beaten, gagged, bound & dragged

Forced down onto our knees

We didn’t start this fire

You never came in peace

Wide awake & chained in place

& stolen from their families

You’ve crossed the line again

With eager pad & pen

Coerced, undressed, inhuman stress

Tell us how & we’ll confess

Locked-up & thrown away

The key was never made

Another culture

To be scapegoated as mystery

Control by threat of fear

The same throughout the years

The puppet-masters profit

Throughout history

Suspicion leads to torture

Humiliation based on faith

Somewhere in a cell

Between Heaven & Hell

Will rise a vengeful wraith

These ghosts will lead the way

Until your dying day

Unstitch the seems

In your American dreams

From Guantanamo to Abu-Graib

You’ll never rest in peace

You’ll never rest in peace

Sun rises everyday

You’ll never rest in peace

You’ll never rest in peace

You’ll never rest in peace

Sun setting everyday

You’ll never rest in peace
