  • The movie ran through me

    The glamour subdue me

    The tabloid untie me

    I’m empty please fill me

    Mister anchor assure me

    That Baghdad is burning

    Your voice it is so soothing

    That cunning mantra of killing

    I need you my witness

    To dress this up so bloodless

    To numb me and purge me now

    Of thoughts of blaming you

    Yes the car is our wheelchair

    My witness your coughing

    Oily silence mocks the legless

    Now traveling in coffins

    But on the corner

    The jury’s sleepless

    We found your weakness

    And it’s right outside our door

    Now testify

    With precision you feed me

    My witness I’m hungry

    Your temple it calms me

    So I can carry on

    My slaving sweating the skin right off my bones

    On a bed of fire I’m choking on the smoke that fills my home

    The wrecking ball rushing

    My witness your blushing

    The pipeline is gushing

    While here we lie in tombs

    While on the corner

    The jury’s sleepless

    We found your weakness

    And it’s right outside your door

    Now testify

    Mass graves for the pump and the price is set

    Who controls the past now controls the future

    Who controls the present now controls the past

    Who controls the past now controls the future

    Who controls the present now?

    Now testify
