Today's Empires, Tomorrow's Ashes Lyrics - Today's Empires, Tomorrow's Ashes - Propagandhi

This tangled web we weave spans from Pine to Ruby Ridge 

Back to Shay's defeat 

On up to Gufstafsen 

Now cue the ass parade of dittoheads and commisars and pricks 

Drown out the faintest hint of commie faggot heretics 

The nail that sticks up gets hammered down 

The master's finest tools are found 

Slack-jawed and placid 

Amidst the cacophony 

Of screaming billboards and Disney-fied history

The 5 Most Memorable Moments From The 2017 VMAs 

Sometimes the ties that bind are strange 

No justice shines upon the cemetary plots marked Hampton, Weaver, or Anna Mae 

Where federal bureas and fraternal orders 

Have cast their shadows 

Permanent features build into these borders 

But undercover of the 

The customary gap we find between 

History and truth 

Founding fathers 

Bask in the rockets blinding red glare 

Bombs bursting in air 

Photos 

But the truth is 

The back country learned of ratification 

The people had a coffen painted black 

And solemnly born in funeral procession 

They buried it deep in the earth 

An an emblem of their disillusion 

Internment of their public liberty 

Someday, somewhere 

Today's empires, tomorrow's ashes
