lyrics

Well I’m your soothsayer, mama
I’ll be your future-teller mama
Give you the lay of the land
Wake you up in a la la land
Reading from the entrails of a lamb
Satisfaction when I tell you what you told me that you wanted to hear

I’ll be your glad hander
Your “what’s to come” diviner
You’re gonna like my words
I can tell it from the flight of the birds
That science shit’s absurd
Satisfaction when your expectations are made crystal clear

Only half believes reality, the other half wants to secede
A third half is tickled by the first two halves' stupidity
I swear I can’t tell which from whom, maybe I need more booze
Only the few, the Oligarchs, will never lose

I’ll wag your dog, mama Puppeteer your frog, mama
Make Kermit flap in the breeze, anything that you need
PBS or THC
Focus groups and feedback loops made for your conceits

Reaganomics trickles down like venom from the fangs of an asp
And Christianity long before that gave to Caesar what Caesar grasped
Then there’s the gods, slurping ambrosia from the palms of their hands
And still they need you to sacrifice the choicest bits of lamb

I’ll be your Echo Chamber, mama
Tune into your Echo Chamber, mama
I’ll read that swine’s liver, anything delivered
I’ll tell you what you oughta fear
Some wine and some poppies will make it all easier to hear
I’ll be your Echo Chamber, mama…
Tune into your Echo Chamber, mama…
I’ll be your Echo Chamber, mama…
Give you a divided land
