Lyrics

Can't you hear the war cry

It's time to enlist

The people speak as one

The cattle, the crowd

Those too afraid to live

Demand a sacrifice

Demand a sacrifice

Demand a sacrifice of your life

Sacrifice

Can you smell their stinking breath

Listen to them

Chanting and gasing and

Chanting their slogans

It's a grave digger's song

Praising God and state

So the nation will live

So we all can remain as cattle

They demand a sacrifice

They demand a sacrifice

They demand a s sacrifice of your life

Sacrifice

THE BALLAD OF DWIGHT FRY:

I was gone for fourteen days

Could have been gone for more

Held up in the intensive care ward

Lying on the floor

I was gone for all those days

But I was not all alone

I made friends with a lot of people

In the danger zone

See my lonely life unfold

I see it every day

See my lonely mind explode

We're not going away

I coulda lost some weight there

And I really need some rest

Sleeping don't come very easy

In a straight white vest

She'd like to see the little children

She's only four years old

I give her back all of her playthings

Even ones I stole

See my lonely life unfold

I see it every day

See my lonely mind explode

When I go insane
