A Speculative Fiction lyrics
by Propagandhi
A new iron curtain drawn across the 49th parallel
Cut all diplomatic ties as we expel
All American dignitaries
And issue a nation-wide
Travel advisory for any others left inside
Nowhere to run. Nowhere to hide
The burned out shells of south-bound traffic lay
Strewn along a cold stretch of would-be interstate
Still visible below
Their charred remains: Pax Americana plates
Your stupid f*cking laser-pucks™ were just the start
And while you may stand six full cubits and a span
We got a shepherd’s sling and five stones in our hand
And the battle of 1812 lives in our hearts
We don’t care if we’re destroyed
We’ll never capitulate
We’ll take the whole f*cking world down
Down with us in flames
Just a speculative fiction. No cause for alarm
We got a good 15 years left ’til the "United We Stand"
Murals on West Broadway finally fade
And we wave good-bye to such sad, childish refrains
Exchanged for other stupid lullabies like "you can have my guns when you pry
Them from my cold dead hands."
Just a speculative fiction
