Bongo rama lama ram das kapital
Bruja ya ya no no na nah nah
Call your marker darker darker
Call your marker darker darker
Church of Texas sky paint well born
Proper racial policy Abilene to Van Horn
Narcotrafficker particle beta
Strategy of tension eradicate all data
Can a mind be changed electronically
With all of our attempts we still don't know
Or perhaps it happens chronically
To those with no place left to go
I hear your lies symphonically
Deep in blank space galaxy halo
Governements lie in the elastopast
Keep your eyes open cause it happens fast
He'll seize his victim underneath his breath
Dante to fante the dance of death
Velocity coverage at headquarters
Gone to bug city with the activist reporters
It's hot this close to the plutonium core
It's the thing you face in the neverending war
I miss the stunning mafiosa
I miss the good old Cosa Nostra
Mystery witness, deception, machines
Here come the philistines
Bongo rama lama ram das kapital
Bruja ya ya no no na nah nah
Call your marker darker darker
Call your marker darker darker
