The Onion Files

Peel back your lids, open up to the outside/
Hear 44 rounds peeled back by the curside/
See how they peeled back their words when the kid died/
Peel back the newspaper pages, and you'll see lies/
Peel back ten years and you'll see the same thing/
Peel back twenty years and you'll see the same thing/
Peel back thirty years, you'll see the same damn thing/
Peel back forty year, you'll see the same thing/
Peel back the next layer and you'll find the taxpayer/
Whose money went to Cold War and never to social welfare/
Find out how each layer grew to keep the worms out/
Find out how nothing could stop his mind from the burnout/
Find out how time makes men's hearts dry out/
Find out how many times lives are caught in buyouts/
Find out how to lie and keep your life timed out/
Suspended in the sell out until your worthless sum is ground out/
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust/
Dust is 90% human waste, but what of us?/
Peel back a layer of skin and see the dust/
We lust for the money to clean ourselves up/
Peel back this wave file and you'll find my brainchild/
Peel back the face and find the skull will hold the same smile/
Peel back the years and find out the meanwhile/
Steal back the time and decide if it was worthwhile/
I peeled off the mask for this, revealed the central task in this/
Not for anyone but me. Feel me? You never asked for this/
I peeled back to nakedness, no fake in this, it's basic/
You have every opportunity to layer on the hate to this/
I'm wasted. Placed here to debase/
This face of nothingness. This place is space/
Is all an illusion. I'm using the music/
To let loose with the abuse that I've accumulated foolishly/
Pulled to the coolest thing, toiling in madness...
