They take away our safety
They take away our rights
They take away our liberty
They will not see the light
When civil servants fail to serve
When no hope can be seen
It's time to make some drastic cuts
Bring back the guillotine
No more losing women's rights
In Senate, House, and court
We'll draw and quarter Congress
While they beg us to abort
The long arm of the law falls short
Whenever blue kills black
They'll reach an understanding when we
Stretch 'em on the rack
The old ways are the best ways
Let's do this like the old days
We're ready for a bloody revolution
Tyranny needs battery
And when the power's drained
Get ready for a bloody revolution
We're not powerless
We're not paralyzed
We're not passive or complacent or disorganized
Talking heads spin tragedy
to talking points they like
The counterpoint will sink in
When their heads are on a pike
Same-sex weddings all around
For those who've been denied
When homophobic legislators
are boiled in Astroglide
The old ways are the best ways
Let's do this like the old days
We're ready for a bloody revolution
Tyranny needs battery
And when the power's drained
Get ready for a bloody revolution
You can't empathize
You can't compromise
You only patronize and moralize and terrorize
