Live on Channel 2
This is Dick Tickler
Coming to bring you the latest US Epidemic
Airing live at the top of the hour

We epidemic
Epidemic epidemic
Epidemic
Till we caught up in the glitz and hectic
We epidemic
Epidemic till we septic
Epidemic
Panic makes kids so skeptic

Good and plenty
Times we been incensed n frenzied
We rock gently
Till the next looming threat that’s deadly
Like it’s foreseen
Distracted with smokescreens
Killer soybeans
Or baby killers made from dope fiends
Tumors from rumors
Send you straight into a stupor
Can’t get well
When you drag facts through the sewer
We’ll just get sicker
Fit us with livers and zippers
Sippin elixirs
Dispensed like sick triggers

So, how to cure us
From U.S. epidemics
From innocent inventions
Made discriminate systemic
It starts from quick mentions
In tweets and bus benches
Consuming white bread
Like its spread is pure synthetic
Check the 80’s
Crack rattles gave to babies
People saying save me
Lock ‘em up retorts the Reagans
Outrage, moral panic
Wasn’t movement or the traffic
A-B-C epi-dem
Made hysterics go bananas

Epi- epidemic
People go to moral panic
Spinning wheels
Makes profits from the horrids tragic
Moral moral panic
Makes us frickin mortals manic
More of moral panic
Makes the frickin normal vanish

Epidemic erroneous
It’s pandemonium
Cracker Jack on the podium
With loose lips and Plutonium
Chuck’s in charge
Say they write your wrongs
Right ‘em for the wrong reason
Play ‘em in your favorite songs
Penned as drug war
In pens keeping thugs poor
Board with barred front doors
Waiting for the unborn
What’s the vision
Of this sick and twisted system
Slave labor mission
Kids are just born with a sentence

Sentences saying
Take crime off my streets
Subtext relaying
Is fence blocks like crime scenes
Crime tape tied straight
In section 8 for mind games
Hogtied in side chains
Lined up in assigned graves
Eyes glazed
News flipped sideways
Say “draw your nightshades
So inmates don’t give you migraines”
Makes my head hurt
Moral panic head first
You’re dead first
‘Fore epidemic shows red shirts

We’re dyin
We’re dyin
We’re dyin from an epidemic
Livin
Livin in a

We’re dyin
Dyin
We’re dyin
Dyin
We’re dyin from an epidemic
But living in a moral panic
