The commonplace consensus?
The wealth of our defenses
Increase direct-proportionately to
The amount of sway, distortion of the view,
Over those who pay their taxes and entrust
in a civilization fractured such as us
colonial rebels inflamed by their lust
cowboy horses trampling the dust
and the prairie tumbleweeds of desire blow the deeds
through the ghost-town lost-empire like the steeds
back then, rushing toward the fire that burns with needs
to be fulfilled
a burnished gold empire that was strip-mind
down to nil
till the very last consumer
took the stagecoach toward the rumored
land across the way and down around the bend
a place you only think of now and then
economies depend on the money that they lend
in return for a profit or a service
based on increases of earnings,
interest on adjustment turnings,
and some other things which really can unnerve us
and among them some conundrums which cannot be explained
it�s no wonder the world bank was reported to complain,

�This wealth is such a bore, we need another war
to gamble on the future asset winnings
consolidate this business for mere pennies
compared to what we own
by this manner in which we loan
money talks and bull just groans
dumb and happiest when their miserable, you know?
It�s hereditary, they don�t run the show
And those blasted Americans, see!?
In their vast delinquency
Unwilling to just go with the flow
There must be someway we can use their blind ego
To lure them into a situation
Bring about the altercation
That will help monopolize this game
Make it so it�s all one size - the same��

And the desert closes in on the boarded avenue
Where the tumbleweeds of nations blow on through
And you might just hear a tin can breeze or two
It�s the ghost town of the lost empire view
So as you persevere in what you do
Remember which consensuses are true

for the truth, they say, is sometimes misconstrued.
