letra de late stage empire dementia - art bergmann

we’re goin’ out west where we belong
where the days are long and the nights are warm
there’s some crazy boys in old ‘frisco
a pretty little f-ck wherever you go
and they’ll twist and we’ll twist
we’ll walk and they’ll walk
they’ll shake and we’ll shake
they’ll shimmy and we’ll shimmy!

in the plague year of empire
the people finally recognize
what it was like to livе in reserve
to bе fatally colonized

kneel before the golden calf

nero’s little hands
caligula’s little boots follow
lobbyists in army suits

gotta mess o’ lazy thinkin’
’bout the blowback scenario
200 years of imperialismo
we learned our lesson well
from genocide of first nations
how to monetize mass incarceration
the first law of empire is entertainment!
gotta mess o’ sloganeering
from a life of punk rock sneering
the m.i.c. is rearing
its ugly head again

leaves us hopelessly addicted
to the toys of the elected
our dirty keywords are
co-operative-collective

what kind of betrayal is this
feminists can resist
generals with tits
grinding enemies to bits

come on women of raytheon and grumman
make millions bombing the children of yemen
bring your celebrity wh0res on
to put your war on

your small town misery
could be world class history
there’s money to be made
with enemies at the gate

historical heroes
revisionist assh0l-s
enemies at the gate
intellectuals explain
extraordinary rendition for enhanced interrogation
do it in a black site or do it in broad daylight
shock and awe with hoods on heads
love shacks or torture sheds
fast food for fast work
cargo planes full o’ psychopaths

put some trailers in the sun
put the worst metal on stun
this is how we get our surfin’ done
and washin’ done
this is how we dig a hole
this is how we break a soul
make allah unbelievable
it’s in the manual
it says: “torture=zero intelligence”

your small town misery
could be world class history
there’s money to be made
with enemies at the gate

historical heroes
revisionist assh0l-s
enemies at the gate
intellectuals explain
we’re goin’ out west where we belong
how far west ye wanna go, souljah
you mother-f-ckin’ marines are elite k!llin’ machines
way west past wounded knee?
past the debt owed to slavery?
past atomized pacific isles occupied by g.i. smiles?
past bolivia, venezuela, cuba, chile, pinochet and viva che?
f-ck iran, iraq, afghanistan
we’re goin’ to russia, russia through waziristan
with allies like israel and arabiya
the enemy of my enemy is the enemy of my enemy
late stage dementia
the united states of amnesia

the endless war went on forever
enemies at the gate
intellectuals explain

we don’t believe
we don’t believe
