Through the Mirror Seems there's some commotion, starting in town Wild run emotions, as their blood coats the ground No innocent are spared, caught in the crossfire Papers call it a "surge", and send it on the wire Chorus: Looking through the mirror, of lies and illusion The story sold, blurred with delusion Looking through the mirror, society disintegrates New Rome has had its run, liberty eviscerates Distortions of the truth, for an illegal war No pittance for the lost, lives of the poor No cost too small, just ignore the flood When the price of oil, is the price of blood Appointed misleaders, empire's formation Who fix the law, purchased legislation Gone are the days, of envisioned democracy Welcome to the land, of the American theocracy
