From My Fathers Drugs:

When every revolution is sponsored by the state
There's no bravery in bayonets, in tearing down the gates
If you see me with a rifle, don't ask me what it's for
I fight my father's war

When hunger strikes are fashion
And freedom is routine
All the streets in Cleveland are named for Martin Luther King
You will see me at the protest
But you'll notice that i drag
I burn my father's flag

From Nation Of Heat:

Outside the train station there's a bold painted sign
It says try to be patient don't forget to choose sides
We got the loudest explosions that you've ever hear
We've got two dollar soldiers and ten dollar words
If I didn't own boots i wouldn't need feet
I come from the nation of heat

I've seen skeleton mothers and hungry folks
Across the street from the kitchen that cooks dinner the most
Sometimes you hear whispers by the dark of the moon
That we promise too much and gave it too soon
Even our coughs said our fevers compete
I come from the nation of heat
