Absolute Zero Lyrics - Singles - Howard Lawrence

My high school teacher once said 

You were born to wear fine-tailored suits and play pretend 

Picking our pockets to pamper yourself 

This thirst for power has brought you straight from hell 

All day long you huddle in groups 

Deciding our fate over French onion soup 

Money flows up till you're blue in the face 

Choking on fear we'll notice your disgrace 

Launching campaigns against enlightened discourse 

Dividing and inciting us to crave a show of force 

Organizing focus groups that analyze your shirts 

Shaking down the locals... 

You're knee-deep in dirt 

The war on whatever's your new flavor of the month 

Concentrates your power-it's all a front 

History will not be kind to those who fan the flames 

You rape us in broad daylight 

That's how you rig the game 

Hey Chief! 

Hope you don't mind us quoting you 

That one's rich! 

Your eyes are blank circles 

Your tail really wags 

That smile conveys sincerity but the latest poll sags 

Those secret meetings behind closed doors 

Don't provide the edge your staff's been looking for 

It's time to let the spin doctor pull a few strings 

That new kid has a sparkle and makes the voters sing 

The media's complicity might help recruit spies 

But this time your bait-and-switch just won't fly 

So pack your bags you pint-sized pretender 

We deserve better than this talking points agenda 

Goodbye Mr. Politic 

Your job is finished here 

Like absolute zero the chill we feel is real
