lyrics

DEATH TO THE DREAMERS

As the crowd chants “Death to the Dreamers!”
I sit out on the porch with the beautiful schemers
Hey we're all a little buzzed
But we don’t make too much fuss
As the crowd chants “Death to the Dreamers!”

And the Bishops claim to lead all the true Believers
Someone shouts from the porch “Hey you’re just Deceivers!”
Hey when to you did God entrust?
And your claims are blasphemous
Still the Bishops claim all the true Believers

And the working man hails the Teamsters
Plant Foreman - Chicken-little Cries like he’s chased by screaming little demons
Greed feeds on trust
Takes a mountain down to dust
As the Blue Collars all hail the Teamsters

And the Soldiers must follow their leaders
Hey freedom’s not free for the free bleeders
Congress waves the flag
But they hide behind it when it snags
On their coffin’s dirty nail on order from their leaders

All the suits are delirious with a rabid fever
And you’ll catch it too if you pull that lever
Cogs are filled with devious rust
So they grease it with our blood
But it fuels our American fever

As the crowd chants “Death to the Dreamers!”
Hey the world’s burning down and they’re still dreaming
Hey World pay some attention to us
Aren’t we all tired of their self-righteous tongues?
As the crowd chants “Death to the Dreamers!”
