the soup that sickened the world
music by brandon bermudez and ian mccarley
words by reid rohr


happens all too often
although, i swear
don't you?
remember when we found
that all these years I've had a problem,
and it's swelled to a conviction
i'll stay a liar til i'm broke,
and then retire to my cell
oh fuck! i think i'm drunk but i can't tell
can you please take me home?

know when it's snowing there's nowhere to go
this loyal guardian one step behind us
sex tapes and rainbows all jam packed with kittens
jesus was a hypocrite
they caught the whole thing on tape
fetch me my waders and oxygen mask
my supper's cold again so i let her have it
think osama bin laden will send more planes my way?

somewhere there must be a line drawn in the sand
don't let them hear you, my dears
no good will come of it
keep watching nascar, my friends
stereotypes can be fun
keep your eyes on me
keep your eyes off the ball

'round every bend
"warily" the punitive reaction
as atonement - nurture creatures of defense
i think you forgot what we're pushing here
no?
you've just never touched it
so leggo my stereo
is this the fist of all that's amiss here?
somebody gotta stop the nonsense
cuz the end won't justify the means
take back your airwaves and television

beware!
evil!

ladies and gentlemen, step right up
we have a great show for you today
as you can see here in my right hand
i have a firm grip on the american public
while in my left hand
i have democracy
and here in the third hand,
that's right folks, third hand
we have your vote
and as you can clearly see
it's invisible

oh no!
they've let their sharp teeth show and it's all over now
yeah baby
even if the guns don't fix it
you know that the bombs will
maybe hitler had the right ideas
we'll never know now
(hell yeah)
GOD burn this country to the ground
hellish abyss
satan spreads his wretched wings
did i mention demons?
sincerely never!

you don't know but they won't show you now
so get deaf/dumb as we get wealthy
praise GOD
the messiah of war

it must be for our own good that they have been protecting us
trying to keep everyone calm
because if we only knew
even though you can't see them
the terrorists are everywhere
you should just consider yourself lucky that you've never lived
(insert correct answer here)
don't you have pride like we have pride?
see, these colors don't run
unless, maybe you're using water colors

won't you tell us something very scary?
can you conjure up more ghastly ghouls?
come on tell me how i'm brave
teachers tell us how we're free again
