Empire of the Living Dead
As the pop song said, the head is dead
zombie nation thrashes thru history
headless, heartless, brainless
simple Tinman, Strawman and Cowardly Lion no longer
now big screen beings transmogrified into Zombie Nation
with no head nor heart, riven with hunger
and ruled by its asshole(s):
munitions makers, oil conglomerates
rightwing “Christians” and drug-pushing pharmas
zombie nation’s cannibal appetite
creates clones with its unchecked hunger
despotic kingdoms where rulers feed off their people
and cast-offs tidbits rendered from the head Zombie Nation
zombie nation boasts of democracy
while jailing the highest percentage of citizens
on our hillbilly planet
from the cooler climes of Turtle Island
become the missing head, even the brain, perhaps
but our universal default buttons have frozen and rusted
we’ve been brainwashed by yankee TV
where cops are our friends
and psycho killers endlessly charade
diverting us from the real monster’s
devouring rampage
so Zombie Empire thrashes in its final days
too stupid to recognize its long ago death
vampire zombie empire, bankrupt, corrupt
breathing fiery flames and decay across our TV screens
you spreadeagle death across the globe
