Patriots who follow fools
While partisans rewrite the rules
They glorify a maniac
Play the victim then attack
The unaware are who's preferred
Ideology averred
Ignorance they praise, exult
Like members of a cargo cult
They condemn the voice of journalists
And vote against their own interests
Knowledge has a risk potential
But privilege cloaks the influential
Peacekeepers absent without leave
Transmit only; can't receive
Absolution for their deeds
A pocketful of sunflower seeds
No safe harbor, no amnesty
The suffering get apathy
There's devastation on the front
It's the innocent who bear the brunt
A vestige of the old empire
Take by force what you desire
And if you have the jurisprudence
You don't need the threat of violence
A parting shot, a coup de grâce
When all else fails, there's Marshall (Sic) law
Challenge reason to a draw
For propaganda, shock and awe
Colonels absent without leave
Transmit only; can't receive
Absolution for their deeds
A pocketful of sunflower…
A pocketful of sunflower…
A pocketful of sunflower seeds
