[hometext] => Very convoluted with many possible interpretations.
[bodytext] => I can re-design the world to my exact specifications, Then destroy it all with the push of a button. We can go out and have some beer together, Smoke a few cigarettes and reminisce. I can go home and work on my resumé So I can become a millionaire someday. We can all start a big, loving family, And watch our kids grow up to be just as great. Raise your right hand and swear allegiance Because you can do anything with your life. The flag flies above your head with Jets flying above in those fluffy, white, acidic clouds. I can make them clean and I can make them burn. I have a voice and a pencil with paper to tell You exactly what I want to see and feel. I rented this megaphone to educate everyone. They would rather walk on by without my nuisance. If I were them, I would keep walking too. With this voice I can keep shouting And this mind can stay oblivious to it all. Raise your right hand and take an oath To being able to do anything or nothing. While the flag flies overhead to the Sound of a 12 gun salute and marching feet. All the opportunities at your fingertips Until it’s time to dig ditches for the rent. Hollowing the ground for your best Friend who put too much in the needle. Paving the way for the next wave who will Raise their right hand and swear on the Holy Bible that they will try their hardest, Work forever towards the blinding white light. And the flag still flies up in those acid-rainclouds. It’s right at the tip of your tongue and The edge of your sweaty fingertips. If only anyone could see through the high beams.
