Lyrics

Another schoolyard shooting
And again they blame the films
No sooner is he put away
Than his shoes are filled
And the lawmakers say they won't tolerate
Such bloody expressions of hate
No they'll guide the youth
And implore them to think straight

But what do they expect?
In a culture that breeds dissent..
There's a cancer in society
A cancer in my head
A cancer in society
And like a cancer, it will spread

From the corridors of power
To the towers of high finance
The dollar is the life-blood
That keeps the state alive
And when the 3rd world crumbles
Under the burden of capitalist debt
The world just changes the channel
And just as quickly forgets
