Jello Biafra - The Myth Is Real - Let's Eat lyrics

In San Francisco you can be mayor at 18

But ya gotta be 26 to drive a cab

What goes on

Is not what we're told to see

Patrick Henry said "Give me liberty or death"

At the time he owned 65 slaves

The myth is real - Let's eat

Fake patriots say you can't burn the flag

But guess who whines the most

'Bout having to pay taxes

To their country

Decay

Decline

Cover up

Refine

Dow Jones

Where's home

When everything we lean on

Is up for sale

Ad lady purrs, "Drink our liquor, you'll get laid"

Next billboard says, "Don't drink and drive"

What goes on is not what we're told to see

Panic! Panic! War on Drugs

But you can buy beer at gas stations

The Myth is Real - Let's Eat

Pagan priests first used perfume

To mask the smell of burning flesh

Back in ancient Rome

The statues were unscrewed

Leaders change - just replace the heads

Decay

Decline

Cover up

Refine

We are

In life

Roulette wheel

Or the ball inside

Anyone out there stopped to think

What our lives might be like today

If Karl Marx was as good a salesman

As Walt Disney

The bacon brought

You home to cook

The lobster lets

Itself get boiled

Looks too hard to climb

Out of the pot with all the crabs

Fear the unknown -

Who taught you that?

One hundred million trees a year

Get made into junk mail no one reads

What goes on is not what we're told to see

Half of all Americans don't read books

I'm one of them, but you're reading this

The Myth is Real - Let's Eat

General Robert E. Lee

Freed his slaves before Grant freed his

Brian Willson's legs

Severed by a train

The crew sues him for stress

Levis were once made of hemp *

From the marijuana plant

One acre makes four times more paper

Than an acre of trees

More protein than soy beans

Threat to logging companies

Du Pont and tobacco barons

Got it banned in '37

The world is made of connections

So many sheep in wolf's clothing

Scary times are never dull

How long before our empire falls

No one wants the Pentagon

Toilets for six hundred bucks

Japanese spend twice as much

On pinball as defense

Meanwhile concerned citizens

In Albany, Oregon

Try to ban a book

'Cos it makes fun of Santa Claus

We're told 80% of people like the President in the polls

While only 15% believe he's in control

And 64% of lowans surveyed

Want to be reincarnated as themselves

Wowee...
