    Extra context from the second paragraph: “President Donald Trump’s latest attack on the working class was delivered in the form of an executive order late Thursday that seeks to strip the collective bargaining rights from hundreds of thousands of federal government workers, a move that labor rights advocates said is not only unlawful but once again exposes Trump’s deep antagonism toward working people and their families.”

        Kneeling roses disappearing into Moses’ dry mouth
        Breaking into Fort Knox, stealing our intentions
        Hangars sitting dripped in oil, crying, “Freedom”
        Handed to obsoletion, still, you feed us lies from the table cloth

        La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, ooh-ooh
        Everybody’s going to the party, have a real good time
        Dancing in the desert, blowing up the sunshine
        Everybody’s going to the party, have a real good time
        Dancing in the desert, blowing up the sun

        Where the fuck are you?
        Where the fuck are you?

        Why don’t presidents fight the war?

        Why do they always send the poor?

          What do you mean, I don’t believe in God? I talk to him every day What do you mean, I don’t support your system? I go to court when I have to

          What do you mean, I can’t get to work on time? Got nothing better to do And what do you mean, I don’t pay my bills? What, do you think I’m broke? Huh?

          If there’s a new way I’ll be the first in line But it better work this time

          What do you mean, I hurt your feelings? I didn’t know you had any feelings What do you mean, I ain’t kind? I’m just not your kind

          What do you mean, I couldn’t be the president Of the United States of America? Tell me something, it’s still “We the people” Right?

          If there’s a new way I’ll be the first in line But it better work this time

          Can you put a price on peace?

          Peace Peace sells Peace Peace sells!

          Peace sells, but who’s buying
