lyrics

It takes a spotless execution
a gunman on the grassy knoll
no fear of God, nor retribution
upon his meek and mortal coil

are we the people in need
of a stead hand?
A modern spin on the scene
we've all been acting in?

Well, I don't know
but,
this is not a motto
no disillusioned turn of phrase
this is not a motto
don't let me read it on your grave

Can't build your house of bread and butter
can't keep your belly full on cinder brick, your picket fence
but lightning's quicker than the thunder
and there is bliss in ignorance

are we the people in need
of a master plan?
Lucidity in the dream
we've all been living in?

well,
this is not a motto
no disillusioned turn of phrase
this is not a motto
don't let me read it on your grave
