Lyrics

A cockroach in the concrete
 Courthouse tan and beady eyes
 A slouch with fallen arches
 Purging truths into great lies
 A little man with a big eraser
 Changing history
 Procedures that he's programmed to do
 All he hears and sees
 Altering the facts and figures
 Events and every issue
 Make a person disappear
 And no one will ever miss you
 Rewrites every story
 Every poem that ever was
 Eliminates incompetence
 And those who break the laws
 Follow the instructions of the New Ways' Evil Book of Rules
 Replacing rights with wrongs
 The files and records in the schools
 ♪
 You say you've got the answers
 Well who asked you anyway?
 Ever think maybe it was meant to be this way?
 Don't try to fool us
 We know the worst is yet to come
 I believe my kingdom will come
 ♪
 F is for fighting
 R is for red, ancestors' blood in battles they've shed
 E we elect them
 E we eject them, in the land of the free, and the home of the brave
 D for dying
 O your overture
 M they will cover your grave with manure
 This spells out freedom, it means nothing to me
 As long as there's a P.M.R.C.
 F is for fighting
 R is for red, ancestors' blood in battles they've shed
 E we elect them
 E we eject them, in the land of the free, and the home of the brave
 D for dying
 O your overture
 M is for money and you know what that cures
 This spells out freedom, it means nothing to me
 As long as there's a P.M.R.C.
 F is for fighting
 R is for red, ancestors' blood in battles they've shed
 E we elect them
 E we eject them, in the land of the free, and the home of the brave
 D for dying
 O your overture
 M they will cover your grave with manure
 This spells out freedom, it means nothing to me
 As long as there's a P.M.R.C.
 Put your hand right up my shirt
 Pull the strings that make me work
 Jaws will part, words fall out
 Like a fish with hook in mouth
 Rewrites every story
 Every poem that ever was
 Eliminates incompetence
 And those who break the laws.
 Follow the instructions of the New Ways' Evil Book of Rules
 Replacing rights with wrongs
 The files and records in the schools
 I'm not a fish
 I'm a man
 in Mouth!
