Album: Life, Love, And The Pursuit Of Justice

For Pat

if genocide is good for the economy, then i am for it
if genocide is bad for the economy, then i'm against it
if healthcare for all is good for the economy, then i am for it
if healthcare for all is bad for the economy, then i'm against it
if enviromental devastation is good for the economy, then i am for it
if enviromental devastation is bad for the economy, then im against it
if going to war is good for the economy, then i am for it
if going to war is bad for the economy, then im against it

this country's gears can't slow down
at any cost to anyone they must sound
banker's fortunes and power cravings too
to this machine are bound
so this country's gears can't slow down
slow down!

they keep selling us a rotten deal, and im getting more than sick of it
because the suffering it brings, far outweighs it's minor benifits
the death of our health, the death of our dreams, the death of this world that we lease
the death of breathing life back into the long dead corpse we once called peace
