*** Lyrics ***
Verse 1
It's an S.O.S. - sent out telepatheticly,
Signs of our distress don't allow complacency,
We need restoration now of our integrity,
And a drastic bold reminder of our morality.
Pre-Chorus<br>
The rectifying troop is here,
The ones we've needed all these years,
To stop the heinous wrongdoings,
And verify our moral benevolence as a people.
Chorus
Operation,
Operation Rescue,
They're here to right our fall,
They've heard our troubled call,
Operation,
Operation Rescue,
You wonder where they come from,
But I just wonder why they're here at all.
Ya Ya, Ya Ya, Ya.
Ya Ya, Ya Ya, Ya.
Ya Ya, Ya Ya, Ya.
Ya Ya, Ya Ya.
Verse 2
Life ever after is what they're in business for,
See them brandish the key to our kingdom's door,
It's pervasive, A part of, A part of you and me,
But not overwhelming as they wish it to be.
Pre-Chorus
If no one believed in fairy tales,
There's nothing they could do but fail,
Yet everywhere we look someone is trying
To reassure our moral benevolence as a people.
Chorus
Operation,
Operation Rescue,
They're here to right our fall,
They've heard someones troubled call,
Operation,
Operation Rescue,
You wonder where they come from,
But I just wonder what compels them all.
Outro
Operation,
Operation Rescue,
Operation,
Operation Rescue...
You may wonder where they come from,
But I just wonder what compels them all.
Ya Ya, Ya Ya, Ya.
Ya Ya, Ya Ya, Ya.
Ya Ya, Ya Ya, Ya.

Have you been to the desert, have you walked with the dead?
C# E B G#
There's a hundred thousand children being killed for their bread
A E
And the figures don't lie they speak of human disease
B E B
But we do what we want and we think what we please
C# E B F#
Have you lived the experience, Have you witnessed the plague?
C# E B G#
People making babies sometimes just to escape
A E
In this land of competition the compassion is gone
B E B
Yet we ignore the needy and we keep pushing on
E B
Keep pushing on
C# A E B
This is just a punk rock song

Written for the people who can see something's wrong

Like ants in a colony we do our share

Have you visited the quagmire, have you swam in the shit?
The party conventions and the real politik
The faces always different, the rhetoric the same
But we swallow it all and we see nothing changed
Nothing has changed
This is just a punk rock song
Written for the people who can see something's wrong
Like workers in a factory, we do our share
But there's so many other fucking robots out there
This is just a punk rock song
C# E B F#
10 million dollars on a losing campaign

20 million starving and writhing in pain

Small in vision and perspective
One in five kids below the poverty line
One population runnin' out of time
Runnin' outta time
This is just a punk rock song
Written for the people who can see something's wrong
Like ants in a colony, we do our share
But there's so many other fucking insects out there
This is just a punk rock song

A Walk
1/2 Step Down
F 2x
(D C G A# 2x)
I'm going for a walk, not the after-dinner kind
I'm gonna use my hands and I'm gonna use my mind
(D C G 4x)
And who the hell are you to tell me what to do?
You can't even tie your own haggard shoes
E F
Your closet is a mess, your backyard's falling down
G A A(low)
And I have no grand ideas or intentions of sticking around
(D C G A# 4x)
So I'm going for a walk, not the after-dinner kind
I'm gonna use my hands and I'm gonna use my mind
And I'm gonna build a world independent and exempt
All alone I'll be an empire with no mortgage and no rent
(D C G 4x)
And I don't need to live in your stinking zoo
You can't even feed the animals donated to you
E F
Your storage sheds are ramshackled, flies decorate the walls
G A A(low)
And you expect me to die here in this shit-filled tiny stall?
F F
So I'm going for a walk!

Because I don't have to live like you
I'm going for a walk, going for a walk....

Pity The Dead
1/2 Step Down
E D D G G A A
E E D D G G A A B
E D G A
There's a boy in chrimson rags with a grimace and a spoon
E D A B
And a little sullen girl face-up staring at the moon
E D G C
And there's no one around to hear the lonesome cry
D
Then they pass away alone into the night
E B C D E
Why do we pity the dead?
E B C D A
Are you churned by emotion from the voices in your head
E C G D
Look at all the living and you'll ask yourself why
E G D
Oh why do we pity the dead?
E E D D G G A A
E E D D A A B B
E D G A
Well you've seen the disease, suffering, and decay
E D A B
And you whisper to yourself blissfully "It's okay"
E D G C
And you still refuse the possibility
D
That the dead are better off than we
E B C D E
Why do we pity the dead?
E B C D A
Are you churned by emotion from the voices in your head
E C G D
Look at all the living and you'll ask yourself why
E G D C D E
Oh why do we pity the dead? Pity the dead
C D E C D E
Tell me what you see, tell me what you know
G D
Is there anyone who lives a painless life?
C D E
If there is, show me so
E E E E(high) E E E D
The destitude and famished, demonic and the banished
E E E E(high) E E E D
Dejected and the ostracized, the brainwashed and the paralyzed
E C G D
The conquered and objectified, the few who see the other side
C D E
Tell me what you see

It's a mortal wretched cacophony

A C
I heard them say that the meek shall reign on earth
G F
Phantasmal myriads of sane bucholic birth
A C
I've seen the rapture in a starving baby's eyes
G F
Inchoate beatitude, the load of the flies
A C G F
So what does it mean when your mind starts to stray?
A C G F
Kaleidascopic images of love on the way
A C G F
Brother, you better get down on your knees and pay
A C E
A thousand more fools are being born every fucking day
A C D
A C G
A G (4x)
They try to tell that the lamb is on the way
With microwave transmissions they bombard us everyday
The masses are obsequious, contented in their sleep
The vortex of their minds ensconced within the murkey deep
So what does it mean when your mind starts to stray
Kaleidascopic images of love on the way
Brother, you better get down on your knees and pay
1,000 more fools are being born every fucking day
Drunk Sincerity
1/2 Step Down
[Intro]
G D A D [x2]
A G D
The smell of virgin pages wafted through the swinging doors
A G D
And the croaking speech he'd heard from countless councelors before
B G
They said "we all care for you, we know how you suffer
A
But I know you can succeed, I used to have it so much rougher"
G D A D
There's hope in the words and emotion in the eyes
G D A D
It's so easy to be mislead by the savvy gentle guise
G D A B
And like fools we trust the delivery
G D A D
But it's all just drunk sincerity
G D A D
It's all just drunk sincerity
A G D
In maternal family assembly poised regarding the blue tube
A G D
The numbers crept up higher and the hawks stayed out of view
B G
Then the generals said "we don't want our boys dead
A
Your sons and your husbands will be coming back heroes soon"
G D A D
There's hope in the words and emotion in the eyes
G D A D
It's so easy to be mislead by the savvy gentle guise
G D A B
And like fools we trust the delivery
G D A D
But it's all just drunk sincerity
G D A D
It's all just drunk sincerity

An oppressive intrusion and a plague across his land
And it haunts him every day
It tells him that he has no chance, his options fade away
And he lives his life prepared to tear it down
But he can't muster the support
And to him it's just a stereotype of his life-long fight
The portrait of authority (portrait of authority)
It embodies what he cannot be (portrait of authority)
It's what he cannot be

(etc.)
I feel sorry for the earth's population
'cuz so few live in the U.S.A
at least the foreigners can copy our morality,
they can visit but they cannot stay,
only precious few
can garner our prosperity,
it makes us walk
with renewed confidence,
we've got a place to go when we die
and the architecht resides right here
we've got the american jesus
postering the ...(?)...
we've got the american jesus
overwhelming millions every day
he's the farmer barren fields,
the force the army wields,
the expression in the faces
of the starving millions,
the power of the man.
he's the fuel that drives the clan,
he's the motive and the conscience
of the murderer
he's the preacher on TV,
the false sincerity,
the form letter that's written by
the big computers,
he's the nuclear bombs,
and the kids with no moms
and I'm fearful that
he's inside me
we've got the american jesus...

Part III
1/2 Step Down
A C G A (all song long)
the final page is written in the books of history,
as man unleashed his deadly bombs and sent troops overseas
to fight a war which can't be won and kills the human race,
a show of greed and ignorance, man's quest for dominance.
they say when a mistake is made, a lesson can be learned.
but this time, there's no turning back, the hate engulfs the world.
a million lives are lost each day, a city slowly burns,
a mother holds her dying child, but no one is concerned!

his life was holy and he couldn't bear the load,

he left his people and simple life behind,

he raised his torso and looked into the sky,

shouting his questions, looking for directions,

"what do I do now?"

now a confused schoolgirl stares at the T.V. tray,

the stresses of maturing compound every day,

she glances up to see her favorite video,

in need of affection, she craves a direction,

her heroes offer her,

I refuse to abuse what is kind to the muse,

but it's there and it's happening to me along the way
C A# F C
As we go through the snow, we cannot forget our foes,
G# D# A# C
but the dinner's always waiting at the table along the way
What you see, not for me, isn't what you planned to be,
but you'll have what you wanted in the end along the way.
And we'll try as we cry and our brothers pass us by,
to be strong through the ages of our tears along the way
Now we grow as we show that the morals we must know
will be shapen and mistaken by the falls along the way.
But forget, don't regret, to find love and happiness
unless you're willing to be strong when they are gone along the way
Like Tommy, you are free, and you will not follow me,
until we see each other once more on the path along the way

Its reciprocal
When two love its medaphysical
Venal desires we learn to beset
You and me we've got a special thing
But I want you to never forget
It's reciprocal
Each bedtime I
Stire with regret
Guilty and vein
Hoping for ret
Charrity's immune from my demands
I dont expect a thing from the weak
But you my love are measured and compared
Predisposed to my profane decree
