lyrics

Pitchforks blunt, hasn't been used in ages
Well we tried to change the world in a civilised way
But Everywhere you look, you see mannequins and Yes men
Its those pulling strings that call the play
On the television another talking puppet

He says he can set things right
Declaring War on Religion, in a Goose step tone
He says he can set things right
by banning all Immigration, spreading fear and segregating
He says he can set things right
By stealing the wealth of Nations
Hi-Jacking our news and Patience
He says he can set things right
well if he showed Heart and Gumption or
leaves here by the nearest junction.

every question, prompts his mile long sidestep
avoiding truths and wasting time
His credibility keeps failing, when he moves his lips
With every tweet and spoken line.

Solo

Maybe he could set things right
When he stops taking orders,
preaching dogma, building Borders
Maybe he could set things right
When he stops all pretending,
stops defending, the un-defendable
Maybe he could set things right
When he stops representing,
funding, selling, the industry of War
Maybe he could set things right
You can take me at my word,
this Puppetry its just absurd

They'res is the road that takes a Democratic Bypass
To where we do just what we're told
and leads to when, we swap our ethics for a bonus
and human rights won, are cheaply sold
THey thinks us simple and our Liberty a sales pitch
and our objections simply noise
Lately folk are cleaning long redundant farmtools
and points are sharpened set to poise

Maybe time to set them right
chase Mannequins from high office
Cut strings pulled chase those who profit
Maybe time to set them right
Cap earnings, cap wealth, ditch status
Profile, Psych test all who'd lead us
Maybe time to set them right
Cut strings between Wealth and Congress
Stop rewarding all who'd bleed us
Maybe time to set them right
