The Comrades: "Putty In Their Hands"

Written by Jimmy Williams. Copyright 1996.

Patriotic, idiotic, anachronistic warped ideals
Full of pride, God's on your side, how comfortable it makes you feel
Manipulated, miseducated, immersed in false superiority
Placing blame, such a shame you can't confront inferiority

Resenting others 'cause they're different from you
Buy into myths from those who prey on hatred
Subvert your mind to feed your need for power
Putty in their hands

Military, reactionary, goose-stepping to the twisted tune
Suicide is glorified, misguided "martyrs" who have died too soon
Theorist or terrorist? With words as weapons someone else will die
Homicide justified by racist propaganda lies

Resenting others 'cause they're different from you
Buy into myths from those who prey on hatred
Subvert your mind to feed your need for power
Putty in their hands
I wish there was a reason
There has to be a reason

Resenting others 'cause they're different from you
Buy into myths from those who prey on hatred
Subvert your mind to feed your need for power
Putty in their hands
