(fan made video by me)

The lower they go, the higher they fly

There's more than one way to play

And I say an eye for an eye

It's been going to far, been going too far

For far too long

I want to set it on fire

I want to set it on fire

Drop the bomb

Surprise, surprise, the government lies

It's okay to kill in the name of democracy

And dictators are swell if they like

The smell of american money

It's making me sick, I want no part of it

Stop waving that flag

All you idiots bought right into it

And who's left holding the bag?

Surprise, surprise, the government lies

This capsized country's sinking fast

I've got leeches and landlords and lawyers

Crawling all over my ass

We've been playing along and they've

Been playing the song we wanted to hear

But melody's meaningless

It's wasted on my ears

Surprise, surprise, the government lies

Turn it off

What most of you don't get. I think. This is not just a song...Cop shoot Cop isn't just a band You have to rip this up and break it down to recognize the creative beauty here. Try playing those bass lines. Write those lyrics? Then the production. "Release" was fulfillment of what this amazing composition promises.

I bought this after Mordechai from Circus magazine raved about it. Not bad at all.
