The yesterday we loved
speak of tomorrow.
The burden of man is that time never takes a pause.
We live from Monday to Sunday but we forget what it means.
Then a ghost comes to visit and we tell stories from tabloids.
Call all your friends
Watch fake photos
From a made up vacation.
Speaking in tongues about ancient artifacts.
We steal from beggars and ask for understanding
Lie, rape, steal and murder to make tonights headlines
Trust the system,
Make your contribution,
Smile, applaud, love, hail.
The weaker you get the stronger they become.
Listen in silence,
Hear a voice.
How far are we ready to take this?
Listen in silence,
Hear a voice.
Before it all crumbles.
Lie, rape, steal and murder,
Smile, applaud, love, hail.
Gather in front of the TV.
Exploiting sympathy.
The weatherman, our trust,
Our punctual company.
We steal from beggars and ask for understanding,
Lie, rape, steal and murder to make tonights headlines
Trust the system,
Make your contribution,
Smile, applaud, love, hail.
The weaker you get the stronger they become.
Listen in silence,
Hear a voice.
How far are we ready to take this?
Listen in silence,
Hear a voice.
Before it all crumbles.
Lie, rape, steal and murder, smile, applaud, love, hail.
Listen in a silence, hear a voice
How far are we ready to take this?
Listen in silence, hear a voice
Before it all crumbles
