lyrics

Fundamentalists

we’re the fundamentalists
been chasing profits from the start
everything objectified
light years from the heart

we’re the fundamentalists
we hang the yoke upon the rest
chewing up the natural world
we know this way is best

we’ve got ayatollahs
sitting in the banks
and we’ve got cold-eyed troops with guns
if they try breaking ranks

we’re the fundamentalists
and our religion owns this state
we pretend to honor god
when wealth alone is great

we’re the fundamentalists
we claim that freedom is our creed
we ignore the endless chains
of one transcendent greed

chorus

we’re the fundamentalists
but we won’t look that in the face
we could take down everything
and still keep at the race

we’ve got ayatollahs
sitting in the banks
and we’ve got cold-eyed troops with guns
if they try breaking ranks 2X
