fear (in the name of security)



Get ready for the turn of events
Its the same old war defense:
"Silence the dissenter,
Bury their words
Bring on the new purge
Reinforce the silence --
Intimidate with violence..."

They're spreading fear
in the name of righteousness
Fear in the name of righteousness

Better count the moments you regress,
The boundaries you trespass,
The feelings you repress,
And the untouchables you caress.
It's a twenty-first century witch-hunt --
Better avoid your torture and confess

They're spreading fear
in the name of proxy faith
Fear in the name of proxy faith

Better believe in their good taste,
Better exceed in their rat race,
It goes a ways toward saving face,
Better at least improve your pace.
Better run long, hard, and fast --
Slide for home and hope you're safe

They're spreading fear
in the name of God and Son
Fear in the name of God and Son

Better question everything you've done,
Especially if it involved any fun,
Better know which actions to shun,
And when ya better pick up and run,
'cause the way they explain it to ya --
Make ya think Jesus carried a gun

They're spreading fear
In the name of security
Fear in the name of security

They spread it from sea to shining sea
Say there's no place for you to safely be
Can't speak out but awkwardly
For fear they'll confuse ya w/ the enemy
Better really watch your children now
They just might board and dump your ship of tea
