Lap Dogs' Dance
--words and music by Michael Stanley

Yeah there's blood still on the levies 
Blood across the desert
From the nameless and the faceless 
Who fought and fell, like trees in the forest 
With no one there to hear 'em
And good intentions pave the road to hell ...
Meanwhile back on the Potomac
They stay on message no matter what it takes
No one's accountable, no one's responsible
It's always gonna be somebody else's mistake ...

	Yeah you see 'em on the TV
	Hear 'em on the radio
	Talkin' real fast out the side of their mouths
	All messed up, no place to go
	Watch the fat man carry that water 
	Just another field hand down on the ranch
	Look out, watch the lap dogs' dance ...

Yeah I believe in God, I believe in Jesus
Sure as hell believe in a Judgment Day
But if these are the fools 
That God chose to talk through
Then He and I got nothing else to say ...
'Cause they're all about the money
All about the power
All about standing on the other guy
Red states, blue states, it don't matter
The bigger the prize, the bigger the lies ...

	Yeah you see 'em on the TV
	Hear 'em on the radio
	Talkin' real loud out the side of their mouths
	All messed up, no place to go
	Watch the fat man carry that water 
	Just another field hand down on the ranch
	Look out, watch the lap dogs' dance ...
	Mmmm, watch the lap dogs' dance...

	Yeah you see 'em on the TV
	Hear 'em on the radio
	Talkin' real fast out the side of their mouths
	All messed up, no place to go
	Watch the fat man carry that water 
	Just another field hand down on the ranch
	Look out, watch the lap dogs' dance ...

	Watch the lap dogs' dance ...
