These bastards stole their power from the victims of the Us v. Them years,
Wrecking all things virtuous and true
The undermining social democratic downhill slide into abysmal
Lost lamb off the precipice into the trickle down runoff pool

1. The album version of this off of "Automatic for the People" is probably my favorite REM song.

Thank goodness the alternative stations around Minneapolis were willing to play this once in a while when I lived up there in the early 90s, because I probably wouldn't have paid as much attention to REM otherwise.
