Poor Julien

from The Eclectic Universe by BAAN

lyrics

“We live in an age of technology, in which machines touch every part of our lives. It is not surprising that music has also been influenced by technology.”

We were dappled with sound
Drank the apple juice down
Laced with the dreams of all men
I spoke to God, I told him Amen

There was a shadow beneath
As he lied through his teeth
Not my God after all
Answering the war machine’s clarion call

He brought poor Julien down
Through death’s front door and back around
Tied up in memory, tied up in chains
Flew him away in a military plane

It wasn't Julien who told those lies
Who doesn’t care if all the children die
A prisoner in the Challenger deep
They won’t let him wake up, they won’t let him sleep

Poor Julien
Back to the start again
Poor Julien
They wanna break his will
Poor Julien
He never kill

The Man waits outside our schools
Eagerly looking for the cheaters and fools
Another dumb empath to rob
A psychopath in need of a job

Julien lost five thousand days
We forgot where he was hidden away
Now no-one cares if the cause is lost
Golden green fields all turned to frost

Julien stands behind those gates
Gun in hand, in the other his fate
He really wants the world to pay
But he puts the gun down and he walks away
