lyrics

Severed Heads of State

The big head rolled off the mound and landed with the others
He said "Hey! What the hell are we doing down here my brothers?
This laymen's life is not for me. I'm a power lord. We're the men in white
We gotta find our way back up that hill into the light"

You're just a severed head cast out by those you fooled
Your mouth is flapping on while your agenda's overruled
We're gonna kick you 'round Friday night in our sand lots
Why don't you give it up? Just roll away and rot!

You can defend away until your tongue falls out your throat
You can dance in the embers begging for a quote
You're gonna own your place in history and your legacy won't stick
You'll always be remembered as a dick

Or a severed head cast out by those you fooled
Your mouth is flapping on while your agenda's overruled
We're gonna kick you 'round Friday night in our sand lots
Why don't you give it up? Just roll away and rot!
