Casino Nation (Live)

[Verse 1]
In a weapons producing nation under Jesus
In the fabled crucible of the free world
Camera crews search for clues amid the detritus
And entertainment shapes the land
The way the hammer shapes the hand

[Verse 2]
Gleaming faces in the checkout counter at the Church of Fame
The lucky winners cheer Casino Nation
And all those not on TV only have themselves to blame
And don't quite seem to understand
The way the hammеr shapes the hand

[Bridge]
Out beyond thе Ethernet the spectrum spreads
DC to daylight, the cowboy mogul rides
Never worry where the gold for all his glory's gonna come from
Get along dogies, it's coming out of your hides

[Verse 3]
The intentional cultivation of a criminal class
The future lit by brightly burning bridges
And justice fully clothed to hide the heart of glass
That shatters in a thousand Ruby Ridges
And everywhere the good prepare for perpetual war
And let the weapons shape the plan
The way the hammer shapes the hand
The way the hammer shapes the hand
The way the hammer shapes the hand
