Headlines (Eighth Inch Bleed)


We live in the land where Liberty died

Put that on the key and print the headline.

They enslave our souls for their data-mine

But that data is mine!

They steal our identities and sell’em online

To scammers and spammers and the FBI

While indigenous tribes

Still face genocide;

400 years of committing war crimes

In the name of nations built on a lie.




They say we need surveillance for security

But they only breach our right to privacy.

Religious freedom means religious supremacy

In a “secular” nation ran by Christianity.

They deny science and spread their insanity

While hiding behind bullshit conspiracy

That they use to dehumanize

Their perceived enemies.




They call their detractors terrorists

But that label applies to our presidents.

Droppin bombs on the Middle East

Supported by ignorance

So they can get rich

Off of oil and opiates.




Blood money,

Bloodlines,

Blood shot eyes.

There's blood in the needle

And blood on the mind

There's blood on your hands

There's blood on mine

The damn spot won't wash out

After all of this time

And they still publish bullshit

In black and white,

But it's red all over.

“Everything's fine.”

They won’t acknowledge

Poor Palestine

Cuz they make a dollar

For every child who dies.
