lyrics

There I was with my mom in Carson City
Eating breakfast in a casino as we talked
Saddam Hussein had just been found guilty
Now, two months later, he was hung to mass applause
& I was complaining about how the people of this nation
Were taking pleasure as they watched the body fall
I said, "With this bloodlust in our hearts, we're just as bad,"
& Before I knew it, I was yelling at my mom

Now wait here....what am I saying?
What is the meaning of this intention?
What I've been outraging against
Has infiltrated my nest
How can this species ever be free of this beast?

I had a friend, he signed up for the armed forces,
Said he wants to make Iraq a parking lot
But when he came home to us two years later,
In his eyes were the ghosts of all the kids that he had shot
He came back a changed man, says he understands
Why we never should have gone
When you're the aggressor, you'd better make damn sure
That you know just what you're fighting for

Now wait here....what am I saying?
What is the meaning of this intention?
What I've been out railing against
Has infiltrated my lips
How can this species ever be free of this beast?
How can this species ever be free?

Roll, roll, roll, roll lucky number 7
If you commit the sin in your heart,
The book says that you won't go to heaven
So roll, roll, roll, roll that lucky number 777
No god of justice would ever allow any of us in

So we begin to build our artificial garden of Eden
Contingent & hinging on eventual Armageddon
Without it, all of our plans will be laid to ruin
Leaving us at the mercy of the lions

I wanna be mad
All the time
I wanna be mad
