The Snake
Resisting History's Echo: Cut the Head Off the Snake
Lyrics
No more of these new wars
No more engagement in new wars is desired.
Let's go back to the old wars
Suggesting a return to past conflicts or struggles.
There is some blood to spill and it's not gonna be mine
Acknowledging the inevitability of conflict with a determination not to be the one to suffer.
Let's roll back to the good times
Expressing a desire to return to better, more prosperous times.
It's what you want to hear
Referring to information that is pleasing or comforting.
But we won't allow it
Rejecting the acceptance or allowance of the suggested comforting information.
It's what you want to hear
Reiterating the undesirable nature of the information people want to hear.
We'll stand up and shout it
Asserting a commitment to oppose and vocalize against the unwanted information.
Cut the head off the snake
Emphasizing the repeated call to eliminate the source of problems or conflicts (symbolized by the snake).
Cut the head off the snake
-Cut the head off the snake
-Cut the head off the snake
-Call me un-American
Labeling as un-American due to disagreement with certain patriotic symbols or sentiments.
With your don't tread on me bullshit
Criticizing the "don't tread on me" ideology as irrelevant or problematic.
Someday the name will be a stain in history's eyes
Predicting a negative historical legacy for those who adhere to the mentioned ideology.
Let's roll back to the good times
Reiterating the desire to return to a more positive historical period.
No looking back, no looking back
Expressing a commitment to moving forward without dwelling on the past.
It's what you want to hear
Referring to the desirable information that people want to hear.
But we won't allow it
Rejecting the acceptance or allowance of the suggested comforting information.
It's what you want to hear
Reiterating the undesirable nature of the information people want to hear.
We'll stand up and shout it
Asserting a commitment to oppose and vocalize against the unwanted information.
