"The Brink"

rhumba beat backseat

the war drum shimmies

throws rhetorical punches to make news

but America is a well intentioned foster parent

who thinks a smack on the rear is a hellfire missile

sic semper tyrannus

aren't you worried?

aren't you worried yet?

better start worrying, asap

sic semper tyrannus

take me back to the olden days

not good or bad but just the same

was it as simple as black and white or just as grey

as today

the pros and cons are infinite

actions all deliberate

but the hawks and hippies bleed the same for it

freedom

just how much

will we give up

to try to save our own hides

this is the part I hate

the waiting

if I am to fight I wish they'd bring it on

enough of this shit

how else will the panic end?

how do we get back to normal

when the auld lang syne are lost and mostly dead

hint: never again

this means war

without end

our children's children will do it all again

fear not sweet police

your enemies are drawing near

but as pure as your intentions may be

they inspire fear

no more tears

please I beg of you
