Lyrics:
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's changing history
Procedures that he's programmed to, and 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
And 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 your 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 your dying, O, your overture
M is for money, 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 your 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
Hook in mouth!

Ironic a song about things being altered and censored got altered itself
In all seriousness, I think the production on SFSGSW is part of its charm; the drums pack a punch, and the reverb on the guitars makes every solo so powerful

This is so much better than the remastered garbage. Damn it, Dave!! I love him but should really re-release these separately as they were originally 🤘🤘

[@biowebset4581]

[@bezoticallyyours83]

Yeah Megadeth and Iced Earth both did the same thing, where they remastered their early master pieces and ruined them

[@CLE4LIFE420]

TRUMP IN A NUTSHELL . Dave predicted TRUMPS presidency 27 years before it happened . Dave definitely a profit.

[@abfkwbdkdmggfilw-uv5bn]

this song applies to almost all politicians

[@benjohnson4810]

Dave probably always has and always will support someone like Trump. Now that i know enough, i do too. Good job projecting nonsense though.

[@eddiemperor]
