Let Them Bleed

Oh my love and me
Sat beside the christmas tree
Where we carved our names to see
If we were dreaming
And just to confirm our love
To ourselves and god above
We kissed in the middle of
A town square teeming
With people screaming:

"Let'em bleed! All of the rich and dishonest
And every seedy stock-magician
Let'em bleed! All the bankers and lawyers
And every greedy politician"

They grammed the biggest liar
Tied him to the Wire
And threw him on the fire
Our dreams imploded
As the crowd turned around
We dared not make a sound
As our tree was taken down
The devil gloated
The crowd exploded:

"Let'em bleed! All of the rich and dishonest
And every seedy stock-magician
Let'em bleed! All the bankers and lawyers
And every greedy politician"

"Get on your knees and apologize
For your mistakes and all your pathetic lies"
