The army's on ecstasy
So they say
I read all about it
In USA Today
They stepped up urine testing
To make it go away
'Cause it's hard to kill the enemy
On ol' MDMA
Said the King of Contradiction
To the Queen of Mystery
The Prince of Paradox
He dogs me like a flea
So I'll set my troops upon him
And bring him to his knees
When all is said and done
I'll pick a flight with the Chinese
The Queen she stared him long and hard
And then she softly said
I'll rub you down with linseed oil
To ease your throbbing head
She slipped a note into an apricot
Then threw it to the whores
The jester read the words
Something wicked this way roars
The army's on ecstasy
So they say
I read all about it
In USA Today
They stepped up urine testing
To make it go away
'Cause it's hard to kill the enemy
On ol' MDMA
The price they put upon the heads
Of folks with poignant views
Would be better spent on
The children without shoes
And when the King condoned
The actions of the liar
He forgot to weight the awesome power
Of the village crier
The army's on ecstasy
So they say
I read all about it
In USA Today
They stepped up urine testing
To make it go away
'Cause it's hard to kill the enemy
On ol' MDMA
