War by Deca

Nothing new, same old hustle and subterfuge
Suffer through shockwaves we've grown accustomed to
Up the views, more skewed coverage and buzzard food
Trouble brews, and pundits fish in the blood that pools
Nationwide they're harmonizing like the Four Tops
Warhawks on Park Place and Boardwalk
Crying out for scorched earth
It's like we've been here before,
charting each seismic shift with a pen ear to floor
Our free and fair press every step beating bare chests
Which three letter agency's inking their checks
Safe and sound somewhere lost in the crowd
But rays of light don't shine through white phosphorus clouds
Fan the violent flames, ready the troops, fuel the
furnace with
Half truths and outright lies akin to
urban myths
If it bleeds it leads remove the tourniquet
Fever pitch perfect fit for a circus it's,

The age old hustle, the nature of the beast
To say let's split the cake, then take another piece
Peace, Peace, Peace, Peace
No solace in the eye for eyeball their calling for
You know the mantra well colonize call it yours

Peak distortion reached, to each his portion of
devil's pie
Explore the depths and depressurize
It's all there in plain sight clear as daylight,
birds of prey on the world stage playing brave knights
Inadequate words for lived loss and anguish,
but they're cut from the same cloth they wash your brain with
Strange it's lopsided nature never caught your eye
Crying out but not for lives lost across divides
Tax dollars not for butter but guns,
It's not a tooth for a tooth it's five dozen for one
It's brute force living under the thumb,
stripped of pretense
Reducing city blocks to ash in self defense
Learn to love the bomb, act like nothing's wrong
Dusk til Dawn snatching crumbs from your brother's palm
If it detonates when all faith and trust is gone
You won't have to turn your oven on to make duck l'orange

The age old hustle, the nature of the beast
To say let's split the cake, then take another piece
Peace, Peace, Peace, Peace
No solace in the eye for eyeball their calling for
You know the mantra well colonize call it yours
