Circles - The Vindictives

Once there was a crackdown that made the quotas meet

Squeezed on through a vacuum tube that stood you on your feet

All the clocks stopped cold today and all the roads were closed

So no one even noticed that the strangers wore new clothes

As you wait for your lobotomy in line

The cranky little clones wet at once and cry

But mommy says it’s always better to obey

And the tiny lights burn out more and more every day

The power rich were hung today, and all their subjects shot

So sixty-second saviors slipped a slug in every slot

Bullyragging sermonettes scorned the conquered creeps

When everyone’s applause dies down you’ll stand upon your feet again
