Let’s make it all a business
let the bottom line fall
to the dollars and cents we’re makin’
let the accounts make the call
Bet on the weapons we’re makin’
better that than talk
to end the debate about justice
let our hands shape the law
Fret no more you prisoners
fresh is your privatized home
to the bank we went with interest
lent in the interest of all
Net the importance of safety
never an open door
(for) the mean of this people is crazy
let preservation endure
Let’s keep the power between us
letter the terms of our rule
to hold every class below us
let the distractions unfurl

Even with my locked doors
and my loaded gun
I’m terrified
that things might
come undone
Even with my paychecks
and my IRA
I won’t survive
‘less I make
more today
Don’t question my priorities
set by the authorities
they know how it’s gonna go
they’re the ones that I follow
Even with my wardrobe
my cupboards full
I’ll toe the line
so my life
stays wonderful
Even with my last will
my trembling hand
I'll hold tight
everything
they demand
(I don't need an alibi
the money that I make is mine)
let me have another bite
of the good life

Everything
now that I know
everything that there is to know
I’ve figured out
the highest roads
the way to leave my face aglow
The judge is dead
the jury wins
now someone’s friends decide
whose friend I shouldn’t be
The night is day
the screens are lit
TWENTY-FIRST
CENTURY
MARKETING
THE END OF ME
Everything
now that I’ve shown
there’s nothing more for me to show
I’ve figured out
the digital
now I can reconstruct myself
What ecstasy
my jury’s weight
The wonderful existence
that I can create
my cache is full
of everything
TWENTY-FIRST
CENTURY
MARKETING
THE END OF ME
believe, believe, believe
I see amazing things
my life is easier
the leisure of the screen
the leisure of the screen
believe, believe, believe
I see amazing things
my life is easier
the leisure of the screen

Johnny's in America
No tricks at the wheel
No one needs anyone
They don't even just pretend
Johnny's in America
I'm afraid of Americans
I'm afraid of the world
I'm afraid I can't help it
I'm afraid I can't
I'm afraid of Americans
Johnny wants a brain
Johnny wants to suck on a Coke
Johnny wants a woman
Johnny wants to think of a joke
Johnny's in America
I'm afraid of Americans
I'm afraid of the world
I'm afraid I can't help it
I'm afraid I can't
I'm afraid of Americans
