lyrics

Cage raised spoon fed on broken glass
Willing to accept the impossible task
Close your eyes hold out your hands
Prepare to follow every command
Flesh donors give by the pound
It takes one ugly muscle to make a frown
You caught something that’s been going around
Come here take this and bite on down

Like a gentle passing breeze
Laden with plague and vile disease
Rotten fruit hanging from the tree
Waiting to germinate the putrid seed
Warm rains in a season of change
Healing the cracks in the arid terrain
A broken hand to turn the soil
Barren loins relentlessly toil

You learn to tolerate

Liberty Cabbage
And the Freedom Fries
Form a rightwing think tank
New worlds to civilise
A shining city on the hill
Full of nationalist murderers

You learn to tolerate
See you evaporate
Will that ameliorate?
When you’ve got no rights

Innocence preserved in its final hour
Pressing the the bright and delicate flower
Whiplashing the mortal coil
Burnt down the house with midnight oil
Flesh donors give by the pound
It takes one ugly muscle to make a frown
You caught something that’s been going around
Come here take this and bite on down

You learn to tolerate

Liberty Cabbage
And the Freedom Fries
Form a rightwing think tank
New worlds to civilise
A shining city on the hill
Full of nationalist murderers

You learn to tolerate
See you evaporate
Will that ameliorate?
When you’ve got no rights
