Biafra Jello
 The Sky Is Falling And I Want My Mommy
 The Myth Is Real - Let's Eat
 In San Francisco you can be mayor at 18
 But ya gotta be 26 to drive a cab
 What goes on
 Is not what we're told to see
 Patrick Henry said "Give me liberty or death"
 At the time he owned 65 slaves
 The myth is real - Let's eat
 Fake patriots say you can't burn the flag
 But guess who whines the most
 'bout having to pay taxes
 To their country
 Decay
 Decline
 Cover up
 Refine
 Dow Jones
 Where's home
 When everything we lean on
 Is up for sale
 Ad lady purrs, "Drink our liquor, you'll get laid"
 Next billboard says, "Don't drink and drive"
 What goes on is not what we're told to see
 Panic! Panic! War on Drugs
 But you can buy beer at gas stations
 The Myth is Real - Let's Eat
 Pagan priests first used perfume
 To mask the smell of burning flesh
 Back in ancient Rome
 The statues were unscrewed
 Leaders change - just replace the heads
 Decay
 Decline
 Cover up
 Refine
 We are
 In life
 Roulette wheel
 Or the ball inside
 Anyone out there stopped to think
 What our lives might be like today
 If Karl Marx was as good a salesman
 As Walt Disney
 The bacon brought
 You home to cook
 The lobster lets
 Looks too hard to climb
 Out of the pot with all the crabs
 Fear the unknown -
 Who taught you that?
 One hundred million trees a year
 Get made into junk mail no one reads
 What goes on is not what we're told to see
 Half of all Americans don't read books
 I'm one of them, but you're reading this
 The Myth is Real - Let's Eat
 General Robert E. Lee
 Freed his slaves before Grant freed his
 Brian Willson's legs
 Severed by a train
 The crew sues him for stress
 Levis were once made of hemp *
 From the marijuana plant
 One acre makes four times more paper
 Than an acre of trees
 More protein than soy beans
 Threat to logging companies
 Du Pont and tobacco barons
 Got it banned in '37
 The world is made of connections
 So many sheep in wolf's clothing
 Scary times are never dull
 How long before our empire falls
 No one wants the Pentagon
 Toilets for six hundred bucks
 Japanese spend twice as much
 On pinball as defense
 Meanwhile concerned citizens
 In Albany, Oregon
 Try to ban a book
 'Cos it makes fun of Santa Claus
 We're told 80% of people like the President in the polls
 While only 15% believe he's in control
 And 64% of lowans surveyed
 Want to be reincarnated as themselves
 Wowee...
