Hook In Mouth [So Far, So Good... So What! - 1988]
A cockroach in the concrete Courthouse tan and beady eyes A slouch with fallen arches Purging truths into great lies A little man with a big eraser Changing history Procedures that he's programmed to do All he hears and sees Altering the facts and figures Eventus and every issue Make a person disappear And no one will ever miss you
Rewrites every story Every poem that ever was Eliminates incompetence And those who break the laws Follow the instructions of the New Ways' Evil Book of Rules Replacing rights with wrongs The files and records in the schools
You say you've got the answers Well who asked you anyway? Ever think maybe it was meant to be this way? Don't try to fool us We know the worst is yet to come I believe my kingdom will come
F is for fighting R is for red, ancestors' blood in battles they've shed E we elect them E we eject them, in the land of the free, and the home of the brave D for dying O your overture M they will cover your grave with manure This spells out freedom, it means nothing to me As long as there's a P.M.R.C.
