this day's a tax credit
or perhaps a write-off
and off we go into rain
what's pulling you to shop
more of nationalized talk
yes they've held you down
ask bedlam for revolve
and the planets exert
useless to certify dialogue
if a licensing agency loses
you and i reach no end
to hacking away thickets
in our colonized thoughts
and they say we're united
when the air freezes shadow
vents in the ceiling revolt
