"Kissing The Ring Of Potus" lyrics

"Kissing The Ring Of Potus"

The Empire of Lies secures allies
Like a spider ties up flies
Those hand-picked parasites ruling the servile satellites
Know who they dare not criticise
A psychopathic superpower spies from the sky
Transmitting viruses into the mind's eye

"It's vassalage or war!"
Shrieked the Casablanca whore
Slaughter by proxy
The hidden hand
The cat's paw

Kissing the ring of POTUS
Under the spell of hypnosis
The proof of psychosis
The coup that nobody noticed

The criminals were anointed
The false flags were hoisted
Missiles flattening, nations shattering
Yet, even while it was happening, it wasn't happening
By now so conceited and proud
They brag of their crimes out loud
"We cheated, we stole, we lied!"
"We came, we saw, he died!"

So, is this how the Empire dies?
Its constitution withered on the vine
Propped up by the dollar and the drone
Slumped upon a degenerating throne

Kissing the ring of POTUS
Under the spell of hypnosis
The proof of psychosis
The coup that nobody noticed

Kissing the ring of POTUS
Under the spell of hypnosis
The proof of psychosis
The coup that nobody noticed
