Messiah Mask Songtext
von Kyshera

It′s hell on earth
Behind the Cellophane glare
Our supermarket democracy
Is painted on torture and slavery

A million severed hands
Clutching Ballot cards
Where the starving live
Amongst ashes and sewerage
And there's a factory there
Upon the shackled corpses
And a million more guns
Whenever the white man comes


This is what they call
Liberty
This is what they call
Prosperity
This is what they call
Security
This is what they call
Democracy
Imperialism in a Messiah mask

You better pray ′cos God has spoken
With Cluster bombs and Napalm B
And his death squads are everywhere
Hacking and burning and shooting
And raping and beating
With no infrastructure left
He's got a deal you must accept
Sitting in shit for 36 hours
With no air, no water, no food, no pay, no rest

Making useless shit
Because the debt slaves keep on buying it
While they're helpless as they watch their children die
An agonizing death of preventable illness
That they cant afford to cure
Welcome to civilization
Where a dollars more valued than a life
Where the oil pisses through the shanty towns
Washing away the carcasses of massacred families
Whose homes were in the way


All those pretty packaged things
Don′t they look so innocent
They bring horror and desolation
To any nation that cannot defend itself
And everybody here is free
Of any responsibility
The companies that blame the politicians
That blame the market
That blames consumers that blame the

Whilst the stakes are rising
And the gap is widening
This economic apartheid will ravage anything in sight
How can we sleep at night
Structural adjustment
Is only needed for the rich
Those soulless, bloody handed motherfucking scum
Who will stop at nothing
To acquire more money and power

This is what they call
An economy
This is what they call
Integrity
This is what we call
Humanity
This is what they say
Is the only way
Imperialism in a Messiah mask
