Flowers & Birds II: The Return-Rise Robots Rise

Flowers & Birds II: The Return - Rise Robots Rise When we return we will be flowers and birds Chronicle of a nation in distress Throw up your hands don't worry you're being blessed Go ahead baby hide under the mattress But I am prepared 'cause this is a true test My country is my ass And I will protect that But only a man with a gun can respect that Senators sit on their asses and get fat Well I'm in the jungle but I get the last laugh Feel the firearm Resting in my arm My honor to do harm With my lucky death charm The weight of the rounds that I carry on my back We send up a flare And make radio contact Chopper arrives It's a gift of a close friend We parachute in and we tie up some loose ends There's only one rule for hand to hand combat Kill first or be killed never forget that When we return we will be flowers and birds To be convinced that we're doing the right thing Protecting the world from the dark and the fright'ning We can cash in on the regional conflict In hopes for the thrill and the glamour to distract Our numbed out minds from the war on our own street The garbage we make and the garbage that we eat We lead the path to the common conception But who will be chosen in the final election Blacklisted twisted resisted Feel the force of a people uplifted Raise your fist and join in the protest But half of your paycheck is still in the war chest Who can we trust to look after our interests Our friends in the military industrial complex The powerful ones can exploit the weakness And pull on the strings of a television reflex When we return we will be flowers and birds One lonely american soldier faces east and gives his orders How many innocent children will burn to death while no one's looking There's only way to guarantee the world goes round So maybe one day we'll learn to lay our weapons down There's only way to guarantee the world goes round So maybe one day we'll learn to lay our weapons down There's only way to guarantee the world goes round So maybe one day we'll learn to lay our weapons down Although sad to say I'm just one way But it was here today We could be on our way To took care emotion Forward motion Although sad to say I'm just one way When we return we will be flowers and birds When we return we will be flowers and birds When we return we will be flowers and birds When we return we will be flowers and birds
