Originally written in 2009 as a response to the G20 coming to Pittsburgh...
(to which also came forth the name under which to perform)...
lyrics
you've got her primmed up real proper now dressed in the finest of gowns
and she feels like shes fakin' with yr banners draped all around
but you've promised her such sweet rewards when you finally come to town
so her every peep of protest is nothing more than inaudible sound
for you whisper such grand promises into her ear
oh you whisper all the promises you know the world wants to hear
so you can come and go
and bring this city to her knees
so you can come and go
and use her as a base to plot yr schemes
so you can come come come and go
and leave in yr wake deceivingly cloaked lies bursting at the seams
so here you come now to use her and disrupt her space
and before you leave you'll be sure to spit in her face
so you come now now to claim yr so called rightful meeting place
assuming yr position as the worlds savior when yr really only its disgrace
and now you whisper such harsh threats into her ear
yes yr silencing her into submission through yr tactics of fear
so you can come and go
and bring this city to her knees
so you can come and go
and use her as a base to plot yr schemes
and she can feel you coming in her crookedly sloping sleep...
yes she can feel you coming as the days they slowly creep
oh how you'll come come come and go
and when you leave you'll take this city's soul
oh you'll come and go and leave nothing but a hole
deep scars from the blades of yr oppression
driving her into another dark depression
but you wont even know
for yr just here to come and go
yes yr just here to come and go oh no...
