Disordered Discharge

[Verse 1] Teleprompter glare Flag fringe Plastic stare Spray-tan statue Jaw locked in a crooked prayer Reporters packed in Cheap coffee Camera haze He shifts in that leather throne Eyes flick Dead gaze [Chorus] Executive odor in the sacred room Power suit sag in the rush of doom "Everybody out " he barks too soon Press corps choking on the sweet perfume Executive odor Stain in bloom Stars and stripes can't mask that fume [Verse 2] He pats that desk Like a guilty drum Mics still live But his tongue plays dumb "Briefing concluded" Face tight Flushed clay Security spreads like a black tide Herds them all away [Chorus] Executive odor in the sacred room Power suit sag in the rush of doom "Everybody out " he barks too soon Press corps choking on the sweet perfume Executive odor Stain in bloom Stars and stripes can't mask that fume [Bridge] [Distorted vocal Filtered and chopped] Leak in the halls Smear on the seal Silk red tie Dragging through the real History books Won't print this scene But the carpets know What the cameras didn't stream (oh yeah) [Chorus] Executive odor in the sacred room Power suit sag in the rush of doom "Everybody out " he barks too soon Press corps choking on the sweet perfume Executive odor Stain in bloom Stars and stripes can't mask that fume
