Put the wine back in the bottle Before the crystal glass is broken The party is over Goodbye A new party has taken over A new breed of men as Henry Miller said long time ago A breed of barbarians who didn't come through the gates but grew up inside They've made the White House into a White Horse their Trojan Horse full of civilian soldiers with weapons of crass destruction which is a new name for their brains or what might be diagnosed as their pathological personalities These masterminds of the twenty-first century and their Project for the New Century And I heard the Learned Astronomer tell the tale of the stars in which the constellations conspired to kill us all out of pure hubris and Territorial Imperative since we were opposing their total domination of the universe And they hired these earthlings In a White Horse to do it for them!
