[Lyrics for Flobots – There S A War Going On For Your Mind]
Media mavens mount surgical strikes from trapper keeper
collages and online magazine racks
Cover girl cutouts throw up pop-up ads
Infecting victims with silicone shrapnel
Worldwide passenger pigeons deploy paratroopers
Now it’s raining pornography
Lovers take shelter
Post-production debutantes pursue you in Nascar
chariots
They construct ransom letters from biblical passages
and bleed mascara into the holy water
supplies
There’s a war going on for your mind
Industry insiders slang test tube babies to corporate
crack heads
They flash logos and blast ghettos
Their embroidered neckties say “Stop Snitching”
Conscious rappers and whistle blowers get stitches made
of acupuncture needles and marionette
strings
There is a war going on for your mind
Professional wrestlers and vice presidents want you to
believe them
The desert sky is their blue screen
They superimpose explosions
They shout at you
“Pay no attention to the men behind the barbed curtain
Nor the craters beneath the draped flags
Those hoods are there for your protection
And meteors these days are the size of corpses”
There’s a war going on for your mind
We are the insurgents
