Ruckus in the Henhouse

Copyright Jane Eamon 2004

There's a ruckus in the henhouse
Fox has got control
Finger on the trigger
And a blind eye on the world
With everybody watching
He's dealing in God's name
Just you wait, fore you know it
There'll be no one left to blame
Seems like everybody's paying
Too much to play the game

Everything is holy
Scripture is for sale
Faith is on the auction block
And God is old and frail
We're bowing to an idol
Spending with our blood
Terror is a currency
But it cannot stop the flood
Seems like everybody's praying
Too loudly to be heard

What we need is a miracle
A way to make it sane
We really must be crazy
If we let things stay the same
What we need is a miracle
A blinding bolt of fire
Burn this cloak of apathy in the name of liberty

We sit here on the left hand
While the right one's making deals
Watch him on the TV
Trying to tell us how to feel
We're scared, but won't admit it
That the bad guys won the war
They're showing dirty pictures
Of what they've been fighting for
Seems like everybody's paying
Too much for what's it worth

What we need is a miracle
A way to make it sane
We really must be crazy
If we let things stay the same
What we need is a miracle
A blinding bolt of fire
Burn this cloak of apathy in the name of liberty
Repeat
