The Myth is Real - Let's Eat

In America, you gotta be eighteen to Join The Army
But you gotta be twenty-one to buy an alcoholic drink

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
About 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

Believe in our god
And you'll be saved
Change your mind
You'll become our slave

What goes on is not what we're told to see

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

Oh, and the bacon brought you home to cook
The lobster lets itself get boiled
Looks too hard to climb out of the vat
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 Wilson'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 wolves' clothing
Scary times are never dull
How long before our empire falls?

No one wants the Pentagon
Or even toilets for six hundred bucks

Japanese spend twice as much on pinball
As they do for defense

Meanwhile: concerned citizens
Wanna get rid of all our guns
Because we're all suspected terrorists
In times when our own system
Has terrorized more people

What goes on is not what we're told to see

We're told eighty percent of the people
Like the President in the polls
While only fifteen percent believe he's in control
And sixty-four percent of lowans surveyed
Want to be reincarnated as themselves
