3 A Murder Of Crows

[Verse 1]
It's lights, places, camera, action
Point-blank political assassination
As usual the public tongue is in its rightful ear
While insecure minds hold social fears

Father figures patronize confused countries who realize
They don't know what the hell they're talking about
America, the living example of the idolizers' Doppler effect
We can't prepare for or prevent war, we know that
Twenty years ago he said "tell them Nixon's gone mad,"
And so they started to bomb everything they had

[Chorus]
Frustrated fireworks inside your head
Left the fingerprints of shadows on the still-life dead
Smokey temptations and lingerie pills
Keep a large man wealthy in Beverley Hills
Now they shut heavy metal mouths of lyrical obscenities
All about sex and drugs and other affinities
But that's exactly what they should be about

[Verse 2]
Religious safety shields and a political sex life
While you hide the pictures of you and your ex-wife
You take too many sleeping pills, you know what happens
