Everywhere A Crisis
While the blue ball seeps infection dismayed we sit and watch and the racial tension index rises up another notch As we wait for our messiah we're too slow to realize that the prophets of deliverance don't wear suits and power ties When the puppets of corruption give the sermon on the mount They preach of loaves and fishes but there's less each time we count Chorus: Everywhere a crisis, one more chaotic seed when the helpless people multiply confusion starts to breed with their magnets on the needle drunken leaders hold our compass in the air and there's crisis everywhere Each night we seek asylum in our cubicles of fear our violence in vicarious as the evening news appears Letras de cancionesevery woman needs a can of mace every doorway needs a lock 'till the world's just one big neighborhood with crack on every block There's gunfire in the alley a kid got shot right off his bike when they called up 911 the operators were on strike Chorus No eucalyptus for the Koala Bear The ozone dies and sunspots flare Riverwater filled with lead voices in some hermit's head lawyers thieving festivals abductions by terrestrials a hepatitis outbreak in the mall this fall Everywhere a crisis, one more chaotic seed when the helpless people multiply confusion starts to breed over catatonic minion drunken leaders hold our compass in the air and there's crisis everywhere From Letras Mania
