Mischief Brew - Thanks Bastards! lyrics

[Verse 1] Thank you Mr. Officer great For all the things you said to me For all the good that you have ever done Without you, what would I be You're the gas upon my flames My love and rage all roll up into one For every time your gun goes off, a new rebel is born So when there's 41 bullets There's 41 thousand thorns in your side We'll take a ride down to precinct 29 And we'll sing and dance and break the code of silence [Verse 2] Thank you governor, thank you governor To the mayor and the commissioner Your monster is alive now She's taken to the streets Crashing through your opera house and tearing at the seats For all the times you sign your name Someone out there dies Found a wallet, not a gun A mother's wife in tears From her eyes We despise Your hollow truths and honest lies Now you can sing the monster into slumber [Chorus] Thanks ba*tards, you made me what I am Thanks ba*tards, I took the goods and ran [x2] I took the goods and ran [x3] [Verse 3] Homeland security vs civil liberty I'm studying in the shadows of our state I seen the bones they tried to hide Cutthroat (?) other side The Flood of US bath water displaced The funeral march of all the victims of your power war Rob the right to steal the night and rebels shall be born For ever more You're the storm we should play after it pours And joy is sure to come after your silence [x2] [Chorus] Thanks ba*tards, you made me what I am Thanks ba*tards, I took the goods and ran [x2] I took the goods and ran [x3]
