Cop Just out of Frame

If I thought it would help I would immolate myself In full view of the camera crews, my counterclaim But as we all know The only tale that would be told Would be that it was me and not them, who was insane But who the fuck do I think I am fooling? As if I know the first thing of sacrifice or selflessness I'm a cop just out of frame Who at the first sight of the flames Throws himself prostrate to the ground in reverence An act so pure we yearn to feel the burn Who the fuck do I think I am fooling? As if I know the first thing of sacrifice or selflessness They say that Quang Duc's heart Survived the flames unscarred A righteous calling card Left upon the palace gates For the invertebrates Their grip on power pried apart By just one frail human being No weapon, no war machine
