Pentagon

lyrics

What say we meet
Outside the Pentagon
Power breakfast
Meet just after dawn
Trunk full of trouble
And a big ruck sack
Let’s load up boys
There’s no turning back

Just under two hours
To get there by foot
We will cross the bridge
Our friends will join us en route
We will never give up
We will never concede
We will fight in the streets
Until our knuckles bleed

Who will come and join
Our idiot parade
Take off your masks and
Do everything we say
We don’t have much
But we will
Give it all away
We’ll lose it all
For another chance
To see him win the day

While they drink coffee
In the Pentagon
While they drink coffee
In the Pentagon
While they drink coffee
In the Pentagon
Still drinking coffee
In the Pentagon

Losers rife with vitriol
Seething with rage
Don’t see the truth
Can’t turn the page
Ignore the dangers
Of a rich man gone insane
A Lord of Lies
With profit on the brain

A phantom menace
Playing both sides of the coin
(A world on edge)
Conspirators set it all aflame
It’s just a shame
The charlatan works
His magic spell
And watches smugly
As everything
Goes straight to Hell

While they drink coffee
In the Pentagon
While they drink coffee
In the Pentagon
While they drink coffee
In the Pentagon
Still drinking coffee
In the Pentagon

Who gives a damn
About the American dream
Freedom is for the rich
While the 99 percent oil the machine
With blood sweat and tears
And action in the street
While the golden haired
Pretty boys sit safe
In palace retreats

(A world on edge)

While they drink coffee
In the Pentagon
