Mischief Brew Cover

lyrics

Thank you Mr. Officer Great for all the things you said to me,
for all the good that you have ever done.
Without you, what would I be, you're the gas upon my flames, my love and rage all rolled up into one.
For every time your gun goes off, and new rebel is born.
So when there's 41 bullets, there's 41 thousand thorns in your side
We'll take a ride down to Precinct 29, and we'll sing and dance and break the code of silence.

Thank you governor
Thank you governor
To the mayor and
The commissioner
Your monster is alive now
she's taken to the streets
crashing through your opera house and tearing at the seats
For all the times you sign your name, someone out there dies
Found a wallet, not a gun
Your mother's wipin' tears
From her eyes
We despise
Your hollow truths and honest lies
Now you can sing the monster into slumber

THANKS BASTARDS!
You made me what I am

THANKS BASTARDS!
I took the goods and ran

THANKS BASTARDS!
You made me what I am

THANKS BASTARDS!
I took the goods and ran

I took the goods and ran X3

Homeland security vs civil liberty
I'm studying in the shadows of our state
I've seen the bones they tried to hide
Cutthroat living other side
The flood of US bath water displaced

The funeral march of all the victims of your power war
Have robbed the right to steal the night and rebels shall be born
for ever more you're the storm we should play after it pours

And joy is sure to come after your silence.


THANKS BASTARDS!
You made me what I am

THANKS BASTARDS!
I took the goods and ran

THANKS BASTARDS!
You made me what I am

THANKS BASTARDS!
I took the goods and ran

I took the goods and ran X3

If you listen very closely you can hear my dog's collar shake half way through the song, and the phone ring at the end:P
