lyrics

There's a bitter girl with a flower in her hair
all nearby receive an x-ray glare
it's assumed the IRS will win the cash prize
minus the receipts of her convincing eyes

She predicts the apocalypse of our time
men in suits ravage your loot for your last dime
she says we'll go the way of Greece and Rome
orgies and emperors will soon come home

Moral majority mostly walks by
brush past the nagging in the backs of their minds
and the restless audience that does pause to listen
don't see her talk sedition
just see the next edition
in a long line of strong-minded tradition

She predicts the apocalypse of our time
men in suits ravage your loot for your last dime
she says we'll go the way of Greece and Rome
orgies and emperors will soon come home

Her cause flies from claws to the pavement
the Red Bull from last night has been spent
on deaf ears and left tears
and the fumbling hands of a stumbling man who begs for coins for bread
