CHINA TOWN

orange alert
is what you blurt
from your mouth,
it's the phrase
you're about.
it's the big government map
they drew out
from here to china town
and back down to timbuktu
it's the strategy
they planned
that works best
from an aerial view.

there's this atom bomb
that i got in my pocket
that'll beat your little homemade
science project fuel rocket
any day
any time
but i'm not down
no i'm not down
for a terrorism styled crime.
my fear isn't like most
which is going to some far off jail
but afraid because i know
i'd sure as hell never make bail.

while we send out reporters
across borders
to get the next big scoop
i'm sure osama is out there
constructing some view to
a new terrorist group.
then once action is taken
we're faking support
and sending over troops
but it just repeats vietnam
defeats the vision,
yes defeats the vision of
uncle sam
and gets into a sleepless loop.

i think we need compliance
patterened with our karisma
but there hasn't been a bomb
dropped so hard since hiroshima.
