Days into weeks of Sunday afternoons |
|
Nothing much for us to say nothing real for us to do |
|
Just watch the carousel go round and round in endless circles |
|
in the pupil of the Deadeye until you just feel numb |
|
It's virtual Jerusalem. There's not much trouble anymore |
|
it's mostly the blissed-out stuff that people really go for |
|
and the juggernaut tyranny of oblivion 4/4 |
|
Double, triple bluff and then back on itself |
|
a world of ironies and tribute bands, everything downsized |
|
I don't know where it was but I swear I've heard that song |
|
it was a century of answers and all of them have been wrong. |
|
Wake me in a thousand years |
|
Sorry little island, you look better in the rain |
|
You looked more honest in blue or something we can't see through |
|
and out across the world I see four billion claims |
|
and all of them have faces and all of them have names |
|
Enough. Wake me in a thousand years |
|
The Prozac dawn opens milky white |
|
I don't remember what it was I got so passionate about |
|
It's all now digitally synthesised, seduced, stainless |
|
the bad smell of poverty disguised, deodorised |
|
There's just the scent of money and Privilege still intact |
|
A century of madness put to sleep to start over again |
|
Here comes the Presidential train. |
|
We looked into the crystal and we felt the Fear |
|
but it's already here, it's already too late |
|
We're learning to love the things that we hate |
