an ear for baby

pull out your dead roots
pull out your best suit
it’s time to inspect the subjects

lose your intentions
lose your common sense
it’s time to groom you for judgement

stick to a numb stare
strip to your underwear
it’s time for you to be cleansed

keep your eyes straight
for christ’s sake
remember we’re your friends

good luck getting over the fence
good luck putting even a dent in
the mission, the plan
just breathe
you don’t need to understand

can you hear me? the siren’s on
let the water run, leave the lights on
an ear for baby if you need it
can you hear me? i’ll repeat it

draw the bridges
dig the ditches deep
we’re gonna need a new border

get thyself in line
it’s time for reassignment
time for the new first world order

we gotta job to do
we don’t ask, we tell you
work is freedom, sloth is sin

so pull out your dead roots
pull out your best suit
you know, the one they’re gonna bury you in

good luck getting god on the phone
good luck getting even, atone
you can trust me, it’s not a test
and i won’t leave you in this mess
any questions?
you, in the back

can you hear me? the siren’s on
let the water run, leave the lights on
an ear for baby if you need it
can you hear me? i’ll repeat it

good luck getting over the fence
good luck putting even a dent in
the mission, the dream!
the body, the blood, the machine

can you hear me? the siren’s on
let the water run, leave the lights on
an ear for baby if you need it
can you hear me? i’ll repeat it
