Take a crazy summer ride, California glints in your eyes,
Open-top, take in the breeze, dumb blond between your knees
Then you, find a crack to peer through,
Blurred truth, reality it cuts through.
You better get a handle on this
Ready the troops, prepare the abyss
Sink the truth, the prying minds
Accept a tsunami of deception and lies
Fear on main street, the unseen eyes, ghost filled towns the life passed by
Our promised land, our fathers dream, return to dust the zero's beat
And you, you will find your own way,
Stay true, play them at their own game.
You better get a handle on this
Ready the troops, prepare the abyss
Sink the truth, the prying minds
Accept a tsunami of deception and lies
You start to suspect, your friends and foe
You long for redemption, martial law and control
Regret your silence as they gather in strength
The empire of order, the angels of death
Trust the face, the caring eyes, heartfelt gestures, a new alliance,
your dreams were sold with your beliefs, clutch your head in both hands, fall to your knees (predicted)
Now you, you must go your own way,
Find truth, the bankers murderous profit
You better get a handle on this
Ready the troops, prepare the abyss
Sink the truth with the prying minds
Accept a tsunami of deception and lies
You start to suspect, your friends and foe
You long for redemption, martial law and control
Regret your silence as they gather in strength
The empire of order, the angels of death
