Well, you can thank them for why I'm
So goddamn reactionary
And for the graveyard in my stomach

Time: 1:39
Dismissive
Reactionary to all the laws above
Reverse it

Time: 1:34
You bet your life
Bet your life (anarchist, reactionary, running dog revisionist)
Bet your life (Hindu, Muslim, Catholic, creation evolutionist)

Time: 1:24
Vacant sense of their own worth, unsanctioned war, destruction
Misdirected anger, reactionary homicide
Retaliation, adolescent grasp of culpability, bringing others misery

Time: 1:04
So you can file this under for the opposing a nihilist
Doubt what you know nothing about reactionary
Belief in the scripture's fulfillment are contrary

Time: 0:34
hair like a mane with an outstretched hand
in a roar of hearts, thoughts, reactionary defensiveness and counter
intelligence

Time: 2:53
So it finally all got back to me, a
Real reactionary is what you'd like to be
When the night comes

Time: 0:14
Every one looks the same 'til you see where they stand
Reactionary politics are the order of the day
It makes me really sick to see the poor treated this way

Time: 3:38
And I stand accused of anarchy, disruption and sedition
Well, you'll never knock us down, you reactionary clowns
When it's time for occupation of the shipyard

Time: 2:56
Spewing relentlessly
Reactionary retaliation
Never ending cycle

Time: 0:21
Move to the right
Doin' the reactionary
Close your eyes to where you're bound

Time: 0:55
The insignificant
Reactionary, like more shit
And still
