i wonder where the brain goes
when muscle powers in
to plant a righteous fist
upon an unbeliever's chin
they go flying here
they go flying there
so fast and oh so tight
those terrorists and their terror wrists
forearmed and sworn to fight
saddle me up
i'm a holy cowboy gunnin' for war
itchin' for a lynchin'
you be the posse i'll be the law
elvis the empire's
burning love and firing at will
ain't no surprise
if some embers blowback in for a kill
i wonder where the truth hides
when war is on the phone
does it cower behind the lies of those
dressed up inside their own
lies a-hanging here
lies a-hanging there
so grim and oh so white
over ghosts of young americans
dead wronged by might is right
strap me up
i'm a suicide bomber death is a blast
headin' to heaven
to get me some virgins and glory at last
a martyr pre-emptin'
western devils, persians and jews
i gotta suspicion
they're fixin' to hang me higher than noon
i wonder where the brain goes
when muscle muscles in
commandeering common sense
that rare and precious gift
it's the hardest thing in the world to think
truly know one's own mind
my brain and me prefer to sleep so
goodnight
