Step 9. Gonzo (an ode to Hunter S. Thompson)

lyrics

Where did you go
We're still lost in the bushes
With a werewolf maniac

The towers they fell
and we were launched into hell
a mainstream jihad
and all the news has gone bad

We need you back
your vandal spirit
The machine keeps grinding
The truth, they don't hear it

The mocking moon,

The deal is rigged
Your gone too soon
Thought's lost in the brig

the dreams still dying
but the people arnt crying

their under plastic faces
eating toxic traces

Smash the windows
Your iron horse calls out
the horror, the horror, exterminate the brutes

Fat city its a spreading
Fat city it's a catching
Like a plague on the land
a gluttonous catastrophe.

We can't bring it home
but you can set it free
and we can sing along
to their fact free fantasy

what happened to the man?
he stopped comin' round
what happened to the man
he's gone old and grey
all the senators and dinocrats
their the ones we pay
their rigs go down, down, down, down town

we need you back
cause were better off without you
with your wigs and your hats
you were on to something
with your free white Cadillac
just a few more years to cut the crap
with your mighty sword
there's piles of it here

Come back
Come back
Come back
