Manufacturing Truth
05:24
|
|||
We were made this way
Our souls vacant and torn
Self-worth measured by progress
Progress measured by bone
Work. Breathe. Dream. Die.
Your saviours lie
You never read it
You manufacture
You tell the truth
You manufacture
Relations of production
We learn to ignore
Unplanned, unassumed
Crisis comes to the fore

Owned By Thieves
06:22
|

Steady as she sinks
Boom and bust
A bare existence
Numbed by lust
How much is enough?
It’s not a crisis
They told you so
The market’s alright
Just needs to grow
How much is enough?
Expanding markets in the ghetto line
We’ll move some products and we’ll save some time
How much is enough?
It’s not a simple turn
Thrashing in the water
Relationships obscure
Thrashing in the water
Your town is owned by thieves
Thrashing in the water

Down The K-Hole
04:18
|
|||
What’d you decide? It’s down the k-hole
Regime elite selling the sorrow
Kingdom above — exchange the next life
What’d you decide? It’s down the k-hole
Only one shot
Into the void
This is my lot
On the inside

The Haze Of Childhood

Apostasy
04:46
|
|||
In service of the petty thieves
Can’t swallow down the muddy tide
There was that moment when we woke up
Through bitterness, apostasy
Conquistadors born of pain
Misdirection teaching greed
Wait for the moment to look back
Mythic dreams through fault of vision and domain
There are things that are true in the haze of childhood
|

Opiate the brutish life
To numb the pain, you take a wife
They sell you hope — you break your back
You make excuses — they don’t look back
The dream is dead, it never lived
Stillborn from the womb of revolt
Stillborn. It’s stillborn.
|

7. |
||||
On the back of a nation
The few build their wealth
The debased sell themselves
Law arrives by stealth
Somber towards revolution
You’ll never take up arms
Raw pathology in Stockholm
Learn to love the harm
Drugged and drowsy — ever waiting
No fire stirs
Gray monochrome art beckons
And the flags unfurl
