baby boy
dieing under hot desert sun,
watch your colors run.

did you believe the lie they told you,
that christ would lead the way
and in a matter of days
hand us victory?

did you buy the bull they sold you,
that the bullets and the bombs
and all the strong arms
would bring home security?

all eyes upon
dry drunk emperor
gold cross cross jock skull and bones
mocking smile,
he's been
standing naked for a while!
get him gone, get him gone, get him gone!!
and bring all the thieves to trial.

I loved the Young Liars EP when it came out, and was more than a little disappointed by the full-length. I keep meaning to pop it in again and give it a second chance, but never get around to it. This track is very promising, though.
