Mongols Pasture

[Verse 1] The schools should teach the children how to lie And the pretty girls to freeze their skin and turn off the lights The world's been trying to eat me alive But my head’s too big and I break its teeth Every time it takes a bite There's a bit of Antietam inside my mind Where my comrades fell to the enemy And I am looking at their bodies in black and white I'm still alive Though far from alright I skulked from the fight [Chorus] Dangling prey before me How could I walk away? Why would I stay, butterfly my veins? Woah, if you know an easy way to sustain Do you know an easy way? [Verse 2] If you are an honest man Be sure you always wear your helmet, oh If you are a liar, be prepared for happiness and fulfillment I think so There’s a screaming secessionist betwixt my ears That begs me to exploit my assets And feed the static shit wrapped in plastic They wanna hear It's quite severe They'd like me to be a mirror Keep them calm while they're Getting sheared [Chorus] Dangling prey before me How could I walk away? Why would I stay, butterfly my veins? Woah, if you know an easy way to sustain Do you know an easy way? [Verse 3] The Mongols pasture Will feed you until you're fat enough To fit their coats and write them notes resigning Your free will in their handwriting And you must declare it's only fair That your sons and daughters will have to bear The weight of their absent father With TV screens and bottled water So economics can prosper And you can buy all the happiness The land of the free has to offer
