Alert Status Red

In the wilderness
 Uncountable voices
 Earplugs for the birds and the animals
 And blinders for your beast of burden
 The will for learning
 These books were made for burning
 In the wilderness
 Beneath the ancient sand
 Lies crushed and tanned
 Those sapphire girls
 May we never forget you
 Alert status red
 But the sun comes up instead
 In the wilderness
 The only place to find freedom
 Is in the dictionary under "F"
 Men in holes, men in caves, men in chains
 I asked but the store clerk needn't check
 Man I forget which came first
 The bad idea or me befallen by it
 Not giving a shit
 May we never forget you
 Hmm, may we never forget you
 Alert status red
 But the sun comes up instead
 Alert status red
 But the sun comes up instead
 In the wilderness
 Senile live the zealous
 Lost to the treasures that compel us
 Muted down like patriots amiss
 You know I'm jealous
 Of how you can just turn them off
 Those bad ideas that feel so soft
 May they never forget you
 Alert status red
 But the sun comes up instead
 Alert status red
 But the sun comes up instead
 Alert status red
 But the sun comes up instead
 Alert status red
 But the sun comes up instead
