Apache Scalpel

I want to take a scalpel And surgically remove countenance I want to fire a chainsaw And massacre fast food consciousness Sever and slash rinky dink rememberance If you want to honor the dead Let's go dance on gravestones Not forgetting the bodies lost in Vietnam jungles I want to take a hatchet And slice clean modern education Remove all doubt That this is not what knowledge is about More to the point Let's cut the electricity Rewire the main hardware Start over and begin from the beginning Before Genesis colonized the mind When pure babies lay in savannahs And a bastion laid before our hands Suddenly became awake
