Orange Alert Day It's an orange alert day, somebody brought toothpaste on the airplane, and I think I'm getting a migraine sorting all the billboards in my brain! First it's terrorists, then it's socialists, drug-pushing pimps, illegal immigrants! The news caster makes war seem fun 'cause his parent company supplies the guns. I turn on the TV and it screams its way into my dreams. That little box took my imagination. It's got me out shopping instead of creating. Does history happen to me? Or do I happen to history? It's an orange alert day, somebody brought toothpaste on the airplane, and I think I'm getting a migraine sorting all the billboards in my brain! It's an orange alert day, somebody brought hair gel on the airplane. Maybe my stomach's been feeling so sick from swallowing all this bullshit! Some patriotic love before Two Minutes Hate. You're what you own, and everything's just great! Against science we've been waging a war, but “faith alone won't sustain us” no more! Then we'll pretend the environment's partisan, while kids who act like kids get put on Ritalin. Taught from early on to take, take, take, and then we wonder why we're all overweight! Now it's an orange alert day, somebody brought toothpaste on the airplane, and I think I'm getting a migraine sorting all the billboards in my brain! Now it's an orange alert day, somebody brought hair gel on the airplane, and I think I'm getting a migraine sorting all the billboards in my brain! Does history happen to me? Or do I happen to history? Do things just happen to me? What do I believe?...Teach yourself to think! Now it's a red alert day, we need a new excuse to invade. We'll keep the global order in place by bringin' the heathens forced, fake, “free” trade. It's a yellow alert day, you'd better get on your knees and pray so Jesus can come take us away after we leave the Earth a barren waste! Now it's an orange alert day! Now it's a red alert day! It's a yellow alert day! HA HA HA!

about

The Anchor Babies Los Angeles, California

“It’s not the word ‘Anchor Baby’ that’s offensive, it’s the act,” –Stephen T. Colbert, MFA

"We've got to end this Anchor Baby program," –Michele Bachmann (R, MN)

Wherever they see borders, they smash them like twigs. Whether it's borders between nations or musical genres, neither one stands a chance against the force of nature known simply as The Anchor Babies.
