lyrics

Tired of waiting for the
End to play
To come another day
Rocks are breaking in the
Sky blue sun and making
Us pray
Disaster dwells on all horizons
It’s the new world rising
Newspaper billionaires
In Frigidaire while we’re all frying

Your success is my disease
I carry you!
You rape the Earth
And do as you please
I die for you!
Even though you took it all
Seems you owe nothing back
And when the curtain falls
I hope for you there’s only black

Little golden lies
Everybody tries
To imagine what the world might be
Untruth giant size
In the lie the prize
They ain’t giving it to you or me
Got a war to justify
They don’t care how many people die
Just as long we believe the fairy tale
Unicorns and bloody rags and Holy Fuckin’ Grail

And when you see those pictures beaming back
Just remember all those other wars they never show ya
If there’s no money the pictures all are black
And once your soul is broken, it’s been good to know ya
Can’t sell heroes lying in the grave
Lost like angels, but nobody was saved

Tell me this, boys and girls
Did those bastards ever promise you the world?
Like they once promised to redeem your father
And now to you and me, but we would rather
Make music and sing, and smoke and love
And dream of other worlds, and hope for heaven up above

No Holy man or politician
Prays for us, not what they’re wishin’

My life, evaporating
My life, tired of waiting
My life, in the blender
My life, no sweet surrender

One day distant from our yesterday
We will dominate!
You taste those ashes in your mouth
You will incinerate!
Crucified upon the cross you made
But never sanctified!
The future cries out to to be born
We will electrify!

Like all musicians I wished I had the same number of limbs as an octopus. My wish was granted, but not in the way I had hoped for. My cephalopod partner is an enthusiastic volunteer from the worldwide animal charity Save Humans From Themselves. We share a special kind of love. ... more
