Shoot The Dye
guitar, voice, tom, tambourine, bongos, synth, kit, bass electric, clav emu, additional guitar,
additional additional guitar, cowbell

Diplomats provide the facts, like storybooks
Close the loop, support the troops, no need to look
Blood is ink to the New York Times
Section L covers up your crimes

Far between and few
Are those who do what they must do
In a bloodless coup
They shoot the dye
And now we see through you
They shoot the dye
And now we see through you

Talking heads, all millionaires who can't spell 'shame'
While Bradley Manning dares to play Brzezinski's game
Blood is ink to the National Post
"Please wear camo" says party host

Far between and few
Are those who do what they must do
In a bloodless coup
They shoot the dye
And now we see through you
They shoot the dye
And now we see through you

Now we see
Now we see through you
Now we see
Now we see through you

Hear that war is over on the whistling wind
Read that war is over on a crashing wave

Far between and few
Are those who do what they must do
In a bloodless coup
They shoot the dye
And now we see through you
They shoot the dye
And now we see through you
