And law enforcement decreased
While abolishing mandatory minimun sentences

And train brutal corporate sponsored dictators
Around the world

I cannot disguise
All the stomach pains
And the walking of the cranes
When you, do come out
And you whisper up to me
In your life of tragedy

But I cannot grow
Till you eat the last of me
Oh when will I be free

And you, a parasite
Just find another host
Just another fool to roast

Cause you
My tapeworm tells me what to do
You
My tapeworm tells me where to go

Pull the tapeworm out of your ass, HEY
Pull the tapeworm out of your ass, HEY
Pull the tapeworm out of your ass, HEY
Pull the tapeworm out of your ass, HEY

I cannot deny
All the evil traits
And the filling of the crates
When you, do come out
And you slither up to me
In your pimpin majesty

But I cannot grow
Till you eat the last of me
Oh when will I be free

And you, a parasite
Just find another host
Just another stool to post

Cause you
My tapeworm tells me what to do
You
My tapeworm tells me where to go

Pull the tapeworm out of your ass, HEY
Pull the tapeworm out of your ass, HEY
Pull the tapeworm out of your ass, HEY
Pull the tapeworm out of your ass, HEY
Pull the tape worm out of me..

I'm just sitting in my room
With a needle in my hand
Waiting for the tomb
Of some old dying man
Sitting in my room
With a needle in my hand
Waiting for the tomb
Of some old dying man

Cause you
My tapeworm tells me what to do

My tapeworm tells me where to go

Pull the tapeworm out of your ass, HEY
Pull the tapeworm out of your ass, HEY
Pull the tapeworm out of your ass, HEY
Pull the tapeworm out of your ass, HEY
HEY, HEY, HEY, HEY

Round, round
Circumventing circuses
Lamenting in process
To visible police
Prescence sponsored fear

Batallions of riot police
With rubber bullet kisses
Baton courtesy
Service with a smile

Beyond the Staples Center you can see america
With it's tired poor avenging disgrace
Peaceful loving youth against the brutality
Of plastic existence

Pushing little children
With their fully automatics
They like to push the weak around
Pushing little children
With their fully automatics
They like to push the weak around

Round, round
A rush of words
Pleading to disperse
Upon your naked walls, alive
A political call
The fall guy accord
We can't afford to be neutral on a moving train

A deer dance, invitation to peace
War staring you in the face, dressed in black
With a helmet, fierce
Trained and appropriate for the malcontents
For the disproportioned malcontents
The little boy smiled, it'll all be well

Wired were the eyes of a horse on a jet pilot
One that smiled when he flew over the bay
Wired were the eyes of a horse on a jet pilot
One that smiled when he flew over the bay

My horse is a shackled old man
His, his remorse, was that he couldn't survey
The skies, right before
Right before they went gray
My horse and my remorse
Flying over a great bay

My source is the source of all creation
Her, discourse, is that we all don't survey
The skies, right before
Right before they go gray
My source, and my remorse
Flying over a great bay
