Newsstand Rock (Exposition)

(album: The Resignation - 2003)

Now America's got a brand new war
Can anybody tell me what we're fighting for?
Time to manufacture the illusion of safety
Don't fear, just consume to uphold the economy
Yeah we always buy everything that they're selling
Everything that they're selling

Paying for the bombs that fall on our children
Now we're headed for our own demise
Dreaming of another mushroom cloud horizon
And that's the bottom line
It's time to cancel my subscription
I just can't stomach anymore of the lies
Violence equals violence and its no solution
And that's the bottom line

Now turn on the radio and hear what it's saying
Another hollow candy coated melody about nothing
Easier to sell it don't require you to think
Dumbed down drool, a facade suck-cess
We're still buying everything that they're selling
Everything that they're selling

Now I'm looking for the truth and solid meaning
So I can scrape the glass of both of my eyes
Stuffed to the gills
With a false sense of substance
And now I realize
So its time to cancel my subscription
I just can't stomach anymore of the lies
Wealth the spectacle of a greedy solution and That's the bottom line

Now I'm not buying anything that they're selling
Not giving in this time, this time, this time

Paying for the bombs that fall on our children
Now we're headed for our own demise
Dreaming of another mushroom cloud horizon
And that's the bottom line
It's time to cancel my subscription
I just can't stomach anymore of the lies
Violence equals violence and its no solution
And that's the bottom line
