We are the locusts
And it's time for the plague
The chick tracts and gun nuts
Warned you was here
Profiled as bad seeds
Since before we could read
Monkey wrenching world orders
Is how we party
Red alert, orange alert
Every flavor of Fruit loops alert
Your precious way of life
Is under attack from inside
We won't buy and we'll try
To rot your house of cards
From the inside out
Sacred Corporate logos
Are the new swastikas
To the proud to be
Patriotically incorrect hordes
Deep fried society
Has gone to the wolves
While we eat away
From inside the bones
Gnaw, Gnaw Nibble, Nibble
Chew Devour Scrape Deflower
They know who we are
So why not just get worse?
We won't buy and we'll try
To torch all you hold dear
From the inside out
We've come for your children
We've come for your friends
To save them from becoming
Respectable citizens
A prank a day
Keeps the dog leash away
Join the new Boston Tea Party
You can't have us
You can't have us
You can't have our money
You can't have our time
You can't have our souls
You can't have our lives
Termites are loose
In the house of cards
Rise! Rise!
All hail the Magic Plague
