There's A War Going On For Your Mind - Flobots

There is a war going on for your mind

Media mavens mount surgical strikes

From trapper keeper collages and online magazine racks

Covergirl cutouts throw up pop-up ads

Infecting victims with silicone shrapnel

Worldwide passenger pigeons deploy paratroopers

Now it’s raining pornography, lovers take shelter

Post-production debutantes pursue you in NASCAR chariots

They construct ransom letters from biblical passages

And bleed mascara into the holy water supplies

There is a war going on for your mind

Industry insiders slang test tube babies to corporate crackheads

They flash logos and blast ghettos

Their embroidered neckties say «Stop snitching»

Conscious rappers and whistleblowers get stitches

Made of acupuncture needles and marionette strings

There is a war going on for your mind

Professional wrestlers and Vice Presidents want you to believe them

The desert sky is their blue screen, they superimpose explosions

They shout at you:

PAY NO ATTENTION TO THE MEN BEHIND THE BARBED CURTAIN

Nor the craters beneath the draped flags

Those hoods are there for your protection

And the meteors these days are the size of corpses

There is a war going on for your mind

We are the insurgents
