(The) hand that holds the switch
fingers apt to itch.
Nothing better than
(the) comfort of a ditch
trenches huddled deep
waiting patiently.
Nothing better than
naked honesty.
Hold your nose and try
to forget the crimes.
Nothing better than
an easy compromise.
Red states dripping forth
from the tiki torch
from the whitelashed neck
(and) all that came before.
We were all thinking it (this time).
Angel on the shoulder would admit
to throwing hope in all the caskets
Destroy the present Destroy the present Destroy the present Destroy the present
Destroy the present Destroy the present Destroy the present Destroy the present
BURN THE FLAGS NOW
PULL THE STATUES DOWN
