Ode to Modern Life
Everyone sees a different colour
A million minds diverging
Twisted point of view
Might prevail
The revolutionaries are no more
Nobody is fighting the tide
Riots in small villages
World has died
Tax the rich and feed the poor
The concrete cube people
So let them eat cake
Money funnel
Try to live well with this filth
Scrub all the stains away
Close your minds
Head held high
Society is sick
Humanity sold out
End of the road
Nothing but pain
Our fate caught us
We love the lucre
Now we will pay
Worship false gods
And nuke the dirt
Hell is bliss and study is wasted
Learning won’t end this war
Shoot the educators
Burn the books
So we whored out our future
Now pregnant with sin
Burn the temples
Kill the seed
Advertise God on the gate of hell
Sell the key to good faith
Make some dollars
Forget the cents
Hunt the witch and heal the wound
Clean out your guilty soul
Judge and you are free
Fear rules now
Retarded evolution
So proud of ourselves
Bacteria on the rock
Breeding out love
Not noticing the rust
Outrun the plague
Sell some more shit
And buy another tart
Gild your little nest
Monsters who live down your street
Little girls wearing lycra skirts
Politics will save us all
Legislate for death
Car crashes that spill out your guts
Metal towers poison your head
Nicotine in your lungs
Titanium dreams
Children nourished on chemicals
People drown in indolent fat
Babies dying in corridors
War in the desert
Throw away your magical beans
Watch your life hit the street
Running into the cracks
Dying alone
Heritage is lost
Respect is dead
Anarchy rules
Law of the jungle
Fight the threat
Forget our demons
Lose the way
Repair the roads
Drive faster or die
Vote the right way and it’ll go away
While the honest fear the law
The devil rules the street
Handgun escape
Visit the cemetery to see your son
Go uptown and see your dealer
Your mum at the asylum
Seek forgiveness
Ask favours from a God you don’t fear
Violence in the name of peace
Stab the beautiful bitch
Run away to hide
Achieve true justice through revenge
Treat those symptoms hard
Hide away the cause
Inside your soul
Read the rule book
It helps you fit
Playing the game
You never win
No kudos for losing
Last week’s style
The end is nigh
Paint the wall
The beast is coming
