Song lyrics
The world is my expense 
The cost of my desire 
Jesus blessed me with it’s future 
And I protect it with fire 
So raise your fists 
And march around 
Just don’t take what you need 
I’ll jail and bury those committed 
And smother the rest in greed 
Crawl with me into tomorrow 
Or I’ll drag you to your grave 
I’m deep inside your children 
They’ll betray you in my name 

Sleep now in the fire 

The lie is my expense 
The scope of desire 
The party blessed me with it’s future 
And I protect it with fire 
I am the nina the pinta the santa maria 
The noose and the rapist 
And the fields overseer 
The agents of orange 
The priests of hiroshima 
The cost of my desire 

Sleep now in the fire 

For it’s the end of history 
It’s caged and frozen still 
There is no other pill to take 
So swallow the one 
That made you ill 
The nina the pinta the santa maria 
The noose and the rapist 
The fields overseer 
The agents of orange 
The priests of hiroshima 
The cost of my desire 

Sleep now in the fire

awsome song... what do you think he is... like he says "ill jail and bury those commited and smother the rest in greed" wich i thought kinda meant that he is the devil or sin. but he also said jesus blessed me with its future? i don't know... maybe i am overthinking it... i tend to do that... im an insomniac so i got a lot of time to think... but maybe he is rebellion. hmm... i'll have to think about that more... yeah i think rebellion would be the closest i can think of... any other thoughts?

Yeah sounds like he is speakign from the view of rebellion, rebellion can be a very good thing if it is in the name of your god, and against a bad force....but yeah "I'm deep inside your children, and they'll betray you in my name!!!" ::headbangs::

lol... this song is a mockery of big capitalists... by saying that "the world is my expense", it talks about how capitalists/imperialists trigger wars just for the sake of money... when he said "jesus blessed me wit its future" it means that some political figures (particularly mc kinley's benevolent assimilation or even george bush) use the name of god to justify wars and expansion of territories by invading other nations... cant you see that zach is revolutionary? its not just about rebellion, it is a critique of the structure of capitalism
