Trees Get Wheeled Away

Anchormen spike their blood
 Wear masks of mud, cucumbers cut to fit their eyes
 And so no one would know how tired they've grown
 Of talking and telling their lies
 While the TVs change stations
 Scroll messages, victims and Christians both drinking blood
 And they'll pray for the destruction
 Of all hatred more often just those with hate for us
 'Cause it hurts when you discover one's worse and one's better
 To suffer or cause others to
 And you can live by your conscience
 Now guilt is a concept you're no longer subscribing to
 There's a virgin in my bed
 And she's taking off her dress
 And I'm not sure what I am gonna do
 There's a song stuck in my head
 And I can't help singing it
 Oh, how I hope my singing pleases you
 'Cause this is not who I've become but what you make me into
 ♪
 Oh we got no health insurance
 No cellular service
 No disease they can cure
 But we need more money to burn
 So each person must learn the dollar amount they are worth
 And those pills make me dizzy, forgetting my body
 I watch as it walks away
 And I just keep drinking the poison
 And smoking the cartons
 A pack and a half a day
 So when time comes to claim me
 My friends and my family will gather around my grave
 And they'll believe that they knew me
 And loved me and missed me
 And all call me by my name
 So imagine what you want and hold on to that thought
 'Cause that's as close as it will ever come
 And believe you're where you are
 Keep acting out the part
 But at the end of the day
 The trees all get wheeled away
 And you'll be standing alone in a blank, blank space
 So believe you're who you are
 And stay in character
 But at the end of the play the audience walks away
 And I'll be shivering cold on a well lit stage
