45 Song

from Acid Tongue by Jeffrey Dallet

lyrics

Now the soldiers are saints and the saints are sinners
Cause beginners aren’t aware of what hate can do
They’ve taken your name and given you a number
Now the blunders on the mother who gave birth to you

Prides in the colors of the heavens of war
Cause blood dollar dimes aren’t gonna make themselves

So we’ll praise the lord and pass the ammunition
It’s in the name of freedom so it can’t be wrong
Praise the lord and pass the ammunition
And we'll all march to a dead man’s song

Die for the red tie the orange faced wretch
Ticks the time to when he’ll blow us all to kingdom come
Your shackled sense of dead man for the future
Would be really funny if it weren’t so true

The bag man’s coming trade your witness for a martyr
The payment on your mortgage for death is due

While we sing praise the lord and pass the ammunition
It’s in the name of freedom so it can’t be wrong
Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition
And we'll all dance to a dead man’s song

The sociopath laughs to the rhythm of ineptitude
Let’s impeach 'em up to gag the press on the truth
There’s nothing like a war to distract us from the reason
And the treason of the intellect defective rube

Capital crooks cook the books for the sadists
Who buy up the promise and the sale on souls
You’ll keep the door locked and the finger on the trigger
Cause you can’t really love that which you can fear

Keep ‘em in line to the ticking of the time bomb
Fear is the power that the blood lusts crave

To sing praise the lord pass the ammunition
It’s in the name of freedom so it can’t be wrong
Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition
Its in the name of freedom so it can't be wrong
