when reason fails
the braindead gaze of the faithful
turns away or turns against the free
do you criticize
do you empathize
as you aenesthetize yourself

  this time you've gone too far
  we'll take up arms against the tyrant
  and we'll dance upon your grave

sell yourself
sell your program
sell us all the dreams we cannot use
make those speeches
shake those hands
put on that charming smile and sell our souls

  this time you've gone too far
  we'll take up arms against the tyrant
  and we'll dance upon your grave

when reason fails
there is no recourse
you might call it terrorism
but it's aggravated assault
    

Aggravated Assault notes:

Dan named this song. It was an instrumental, and he said it was like an assault on his ears, or something like that, so he started calling it "Aggravated Assault." So then I added the following to end the song:

when reason fails
there is no recourse
aggravated assault

The second line is stolen from a Roger Waters song. The idea of having an instrumental that ends with a half a verse of lyrics comes from an REM song.

I don't have any good excuse for the rest of the lyrics, except that Bush41 and Clinton were running against each other, and I was frustrated at having to make a decision between 4 more years of Evil and 4 years of a slimy weaselly snakeoil salesman.
