( Baptized Ourselves In ) Democracy of Fear

The terrorists are in nice 3 piece suits made in Italy and chomping on a cigar.
A speech is made on TV and terrorism is a word spread throughout.
Fear is the all pervading mood as the TV and media sensationalize this atrocity.
Everybody becomes a racist thanks to the magic that is television.
Attack breeds attack breeds attack breeds attack.
Triangular prisms are made in society today.

They talk of terrorism from the other side.
It's hard to believe they killed more than those they talk about.
The widespread fear makes you believe they killed more.
Sure it is an affront to democracy.
But they've taken more than the other side.
Democracy of fear.
Living with it through the years.

Come along now it's alright.
We baptized ourselves into it there's no way out.
I am with you in four walls without a door.
Or a window or air conditioned confine.
Breathe like it's your last
