The Saudis are ever our friends and our allies
The President smokes cigars with their Princes on his lanai
And across the street a mother sleeps with her babys ghost
Wrapped in pink and spotlights
If I was a tidal wave well you know that I'd
Rise up and crash your castle gate and leave you high and dry
Disappear you down this trail of busted years to ride the rails and goodbyes
Well my name is propaganda
And my mama's pain is propaganda
If I was a tidal wave
I'd let the Union fall
Yeah if I was a tidal wave
I'd be first against the wall
Back in 1980 Mayor Young he sent the key
To the city of Detroit to praise the best of enemies
Who shook hands with devil, now he runs the DOD
And spends lives
If I was a tidal wave well you know that I'd
Rise up and crash your castle gate and leave you high and dry
Disappear you down this trail of busted years to ride the rails and goodbyes
If I was a tidal wave
From coast to coast I'd scream
If I was a tidal wave
I'd wash this whole place clean
