Lyrics - The World Owes Me Something
All our yesterdays like ashes
All our dreams in water washes
Away into the winding stream
Weaving winding byzantine
Straight to the sea of desire
Where dreams plot and where they conspire
Kill the living steal their flesh
To the land of nod and of death
The world owes me something x 4
But I don't know what it is x2
One day one day we all will die
We had a fountain but they stripped it dry
And I feel a ripple in time itself
Stop the travesty of souls to sell
Debt collectors armed to the teeth
Serve the papers and they kill the thief
Anthill skyline blocks the sun
Like a growing carcinogen
(Chorus)
They won't rest until everything is commodified
Cheapened deadened surveilled and privatized
Prisoners of automated paralysis
Humanity consumed by the sheer force of our artifice
There's nowhere to hide in the desert of the real
We must tear down the walls of the city on the hill
The system zeroes in with it's omniscient eye
A hunter honing in on it's kill
At least the hippies had a reprieve from the churning gears
At least they could (indistinct) greed and fear
Now we are pawns of the atrociously wealthy
Our only reprieve xanax blackouts and fentanyl ODs
