about

This track quotes evil men and the Bible, but I repeat myself.

lyrics

"Desperate times call for desperate measures,"
The desperate measures of desperate men.
Desperate men bring us desperate times.
Can't you see, this is where we've been?

"If you're not for us, you're against us,"
Give 'em hate, but ask their love.
Start a fire and smoke their holes out,
Rain down fire from above.

If this is how to win them, heart and mind,
Then I'm not sure I want a heart or a mind.
If this is how to win them, soon we'll find,
It's easy to kill turn your head if you don't mind,
The pain and destruction this worldview causes,
For we all suffer such enormous losses.
Terrible, the sound of hate and killing,
But, on the news it all looks thrilling.

"We're in this one for the long haul,"
But don't you hear what your speech men write?
Do you just take it like a megaphone?
And shout the broadcast of "Fight! Fight! Fight!?"

"The broad masses are more amenable,
To the appeal of rhetoric than any force."
"What luck for rulers, that men don't think."
Here Hitler had it right, of course.

If this is how to win them, heart and mind,
Then I'm not sure I want a heart or a mind.
If this is how to win them, soon we'll find,
It's easy to kill turn your head if you don't mind,
The pain and destruction this worldview causes,
For we suffer such enormous losses.
Terrible, the sound of hate and killing,
But on the news it all looks thrilling.

Desperate times called for desperate measures,
The desperate measures of desperate men.
Those desperate men brought us desperate times.
Can't you see, this is where we've been?
