about

there's no devils no evil sublime only pennies for the porcine

lyrics

set your wingtips on your soapbox
keep your conscience on my stash box
and they'll print your face on money
put your jackboots on my voice box
keep them focused on hollow subplots
and they'll print your face on money

give them something to wave something to shoot
something well thought out to refute
they want to see if we're brave or just empty boots
when the pig flies blind double check for your name on the chute

this is everything we've got and we're going nowhere
the lies you tell to yourself are the last ones caught

package scapegoats smoke and stage lights
show off slit throats to get the checks signed
and they'll print your face on money
there's no devils no evil sublime only pennies for the porcine

give them shadows to blame shadows to shoot
slogans sharp as a Sunday suit
they're gonna keep us afraid and eager to prove
that a place in line's worth a wink and a wave at the truth.

you're on your own
