STEP OUT

its all wild and new
wild and new
the untried's come due
come due
come due
because we've got to
got to
got to
got to
got to
Step out into the unknown
leave the safety of home
find the one road
the one that leads us to
leads us to
leads us to
the one that leads us to
our heaven
or hell
sometimes its hard to tell
what it is they're trying to sell
they just hit the lights and yell
"Our stocks are doing well."
but there's always something more to the story
something more to add to the glory
a poster sized slogan for the current generation
to express their frustration and righteous indignation
while "defending our nation" through foreign occupation
produced and packaged for maximum effect
to mask the ransack during times of neglect
this is what the law will allow
the bandits own the banks now
no more guns and high speed chases
just numbers in a computer that leave no traces
just looks of confusion on the auditors faces
information only on a need to know basis
black project blueprints outsourced to be sure
to keep it out of the public eye, to keep the public secure
secure within the womb of mother octopus
mutating into a fearsome fetus
infected by a fungus
been growing in the dark

Step out from behind that veil
step into the light
shed that old skin
and dance naked before the goddess of love
