There's A War Going On For Your Mind
There's a war going on for your mind
Media mavens mount surgical strikes from trapper keeper collages and online magazine racks
Cover girl cutouts throw up pop-up ads
Infecting victims with silicone shrapnel
Worldwide passenger pigeons deploy paratroopers
Now it's raining pornography
Lovers take shelter
Post-production debutantes pursue you in nascar chariots
They construct ransom letters from biblical passages and bleed mascara into holy water supplies

There's a war going on for your mind
Industry insiders slang test tube babies to corporate crackheads
They flash logos and blast ghettos
Their embroidered neckties say "stop snitchin'"
Conscious rappers and whistleblowers get stitches made of acupuncture needles and marionette strings

There is a war going on for your mind
Professional wrestlers and vice presidents want you to believe them
The desert sky is their bluescreen
They superimpose explosions
They shout at you
"pay no attention to the men behind the barbed curtain
Nor the craters beneath the draped flags
Those hoods are there for your protection
And meteors these days are the size of corpses

There's a war going on for your mind
We are the insurgents

hmm, also, do you know of other people who have done vids to Flobots songs besides the Doctor Who and Iron Man "Handlebars" vids? I'm currently downloading their entire discography.

Hrm. Off the top of my head, I can think of three BSG ones:
kiki_miserychic - So Say We All (Handlebars) (http://kiki-miserychic.livejournal.com/119273.html)
beccatoria - There's a war going on for you mind, Laura (http://beccatoria.livejournal.com/58261.html)
My own Mayday! (http://cherryice.livejournal.com/215806.html)

I will let you know if any others come to mind.

Yay! I'm not familiar with BSG (though I want to be because I'm super interested in cyborg stuff) but I shall watch them anyway for Flowbots goodness.

kiki_miserychic and beccatoria really knocked it out of the park.
