"Guillotine" lyrics

"Guillotine"

Here's one for lusty lady liberty
You know she isn't what she used to be
Yeah you better know your enemy
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
A state emergency out of control
A cataclysm in a bullet hole
They're televising your immortal soul
Yeah yeah yeah yeah

Oh it's dangerous oh it's dangerous
You're dreaming of tomorrow careful who you trust
Oh it's dangerous oh it's dangerous it's oh oh oh

So tell your mama you're a lost cause
'Cause there's a fever in America
So tell your papa that you're long gone
'Cause there's a fever in America

They sent your heroes to the guillotine
And now they're loading up their magazines
Misinformation is a beauty queen
Yeah yeah yeah yeah

They got you talking by the terrabyte
You know they're gonna take you in the night
Yea you're wishing on a satellite
Yeah yeah yeah yeah

Oh it's dangerous oh it's dangerous
You're dreaming of tomorrow careful who you trust
Oh it's dangerous oh it's dangerous it's oh oh oh

So tell your mama you're a lost cause
'Cause there's a fever in America
So tell your papa that you're long gone
'Cause there's a fever in America

Ah a merry ah ah a merry merry
Yeah there's a fever in America
Ah a merry ah ah a merry merry
Yeah there's a fever in America

Oh it's dangerous oh it's dangerous
You're dreaming of tomorrow careful who you trust
Oh it's dangerous oh it's dangerous it's oh oh oh

So tell your mama you're a lost cause
'Cause there's a fever in America
So tell your papa that you're long gone
'Cause there's a fever in America

Ah a merry ah ah a merry merry
Yeah there's a fever in America
Ah a merry ah ah a merry merry
Yeah there's a fever in America
