1.
Instrumental (Nightly of D.C. unrest after the King assassination)
2.
Two Chambers 03:14
(Metrorail train alerts passengers on the platform) Take the train from the transfer line To the place where the high dome shines Throwing stones to make the rules Apotheosis declines (Chorus) Two chambers demise (Chorus) The measures designed To hide the truth defined
3.
Personality cults enshrined Military advances, sanctions refined No cultural exchange can repair A world leader’s dares Open the line Before the bombs drop (Chorus)
4.
Piety, a commodity Bought and sold for ideology Keep the believers fanned, weapons in hand Campaign in the church pews (Chorus) Values vote Vacuous, values vote Where is the soul’s fire escape? (Chorus)
5.
Confidence comes in a pistol grip Cognitive dissonance makes it slip Constitution absolute Time to confute National Rifles raise the cash To fill the politicians’ war stash National Rifles inbound (Chorus) The homeland is a killing ground (Chorus)
6.
Stilyagi 03:05
The message relayed, a familiar refrain Tear down the boasts, somethings never fade The dossier’s named, deployed, and sustained The top cronies already paid Stilyagi (Chorus) The declarations amended Twittered and appended (Chorus) There are no market solutions for collapsing institutions
7.
Instrumental
8.
The Rally 02:41
Stone keeps what the general’s sown Reconstruction’s bemoan The lies retold Where’s your rally? (Chorus in protest) Like a cannon salvo The lost cause undertow When you march by torchlight Only one side when the fires burn (Chorus)
