6. "President Dead" (3:13)
This is for the people, they want you
This is for the people, they want you
Getting high on violence, baby
President dead is clueless and he's caught in a headlight
Police-stated god, and his skull is stained glass
Incubated and jet set, the bitter thinkers buy their tickets
To go find god like a piggy in a fair
And we don't want to live forever
And we know that suffering is so much better
This is for the people, they want you
This is for the people, they want you
Getting high on violence, baby
Give the bills time to work
We all could be martyred in the winter of our discontent
Getting high on violence, baby
Every night we are nailed into place and every night
We just can't seem to ever remember the reason why
Getting high on violence, baby
And we don't want to live forever
And we know that suffering is so much better
This is for the people, they want you
This is for the people, they want you
Getting high on violence, baby
And we don't want to live forever
And we know that suffering is so much better
This is for the people, they want you
Getting high on violence, baby
President dead is clueless and he's caught in a headlight
Police-stated god, and his skull is stained glass
Incubated and jet set, the bitter thinkers buy their tickets
To go find god like a piggy in a fair
And we don't want to live forever
And we know that suffering is so much better
This is for the people, they want you
This is for the people, they want you
Getting high on violence, baby
Give the bills time to work
We all could be martyred in the winter of our discontent
Getting high on violence, baby
Every night we are nailed into place and every night
We just can't seem to ever remember the reason why
Getting high on violence, baby
And we don't want to live forever
And we know that suffering is so much better
This is for the people, they want you
This is for the people, they want you
Getting high on violence, baby
And we don't want to live forever
And we know that suffering is so much better
