Lyrics

Friends don’t let friends
say no to science
Crawl on a flat world
of leeches and gods

I know where it ends
We’ve seen this movie
Boy!, what a beauty
For men in uniform

Friends don’t let friends
Sell out their country
Pledge their allegiance
to a lie on the lamb

So much depends
On the great dissolution
A bloody disaster
Lying on the beach

Well, every word’s a lie
You can’t tell, if you try
Then every word you hear
falls on deaf ears

Friends don’t let friends
Ruin their country
Roll back their progress
For hundreds of years

Foretell how it ends
With quacks as physicians
Hacks in high positions
And felony gets the nod

When every word's a clue
It’s a labyrinth to you
And every word they say
A trick anyway

Friends don’t let friends
Suck up to fascists
Split them in classes
And force them to fight

Darkness descends
When you trash the government
Take over the cities
And throw 'em all in the brig

When every word’s a lie
You can’t know for yourself
When every word’s untrue
It’s all down to you

And every waking thought
Is a loss to your mind
And on your vacant street
All left behind

Ahhhhhh
Ahhhhhhh
