lyrics

jesus christ
save you for half the price
while soldiers roll the dice
he sadly wipes the blood and tears from his eyes
these humans won't survive
your son is coming home tonight

lennon's dead
and me walk who will defend
chapman until the death
satan and a legal system lying in bed
washington receiving head
or is this time the devil giving instead?

marilyn
begs jack to put it in
she revels in her sins
she knows the president is fast but he's good
hooray for hollywood
and she would scream if she could

jfk
3 lives blown away
november skies are grey
his pretty wife and kids are hustled away
to see another tragic day
images carved in stone again

howard stern utters the final word
while morning coffee burns
we sadly lie awake and laugh till it hurts
will we ever learn?
or is this place just to absurd?

i'm in love
but like you i've had enough
run over by a truck
false dreams, like water
are burning up in the sun
my hearts beating like a drum
and we have only just begun

jesus christ
thanks for the sacrifice
but was it worth the price?
dumb songs like this blindly invoke your name
to validate some stupid claim
let's pretend your death was not in vain
