Bad Energy Video (MV)

In occupied palestine
Near the birthsite of christ
Caught some footage that you wouldn't believe
That night on channel 7
Ran a slanted segment
Through the midwest on the mid-middle east
But you've told me how
You keep your volume down
Cause all that's coming from your humming tv
Is bad energy

You went to youth group first
At that lutheran church
Where the pastor dressed so casually
And when your mom worked nights
And her money was tight
He kindly offered he could watch you for free
Denied jesus blood
And now you sleep in sundays
But you tell me that you'll always believe
In bad energy
Bad energy

And now your engine burns
Remains of ancient birds
Go into town to drive around and then leave
You tore a gash right clear
Through the atmosphere
And now there's nothing that can buffer the heat
But the sun is shining
And your love is smiling
In a moment getting warmed by a beam
Of bad energy
Bad energy
Bad energy

You watched the market crash
And the marquee flash
Your eyes a-darken just a-walkin the street
You felt the breath of god
In a restaurant
He was just asking what you're having to eat
You knew you had to leave
Him a gratuity
Or else it'd come up to the sum of the beast
And bad energy

Before the smokers crammed
Between the local bands
To split a puff and flick their butts in the street
They played it loud and slow
Without a metronome
He always hit a bit ahead of the beat
Saw him slurring and smiling
At the girls outside
Said you could sense it so immense underneath
Bad energy
Bad energy
Bad energy
Bad energy

You traced your lineage back
To all that glimmering black
Around the abrahamic family tree
And in that blend of blood
Counted descendants of
Your holy mother mitochondrial eve
Were you the chosen son
Or the broken one
Who had some notions up disposable sleeves
And bad energy?

And when our saviour came
She kept her maiden name
He was concepted quite exceptionally
Learned if you're only friendly
With a dozen men
One might still kill you with a kiss on the cheek
And as that muted light
Fell from his wounded side
Cowboy centurion was sure he could feel
A bad energy
Bad energy
Bad energy
Bad energy
Bad energy
