lyrics

We know the last day will come
That we’ll wake up to an angry sun
Get the angry news and be finally done
With all our weary desperate runs
And all our futile forgettable fun
The lies we’ve been told since we came undone
And escaped from the womb, from our first prison
To find ourselves on either one
Or another end of another gun
In the flesh, by proxy, or both at once

Violence is what we live and breathe
It’s why we want so badly to kill or be killed
A final escape from our boredom
the future stolen from us against our will
Looking at us looking at ourselves
clutching to the lifeline of the ego in me
The shadow that this body casts
The delirious farce in the mirror I see

Go to bed and dream some more
Go to bed and dream some more
Go to bed and dream some more
A life of denial or all out war

Fragile creatures passing through days
Resources concentrated in blood and bone
A sequence of parental traits
We battle as long as we feel we know
How to keep the fight alive
The resistance to death, the will to survive
This keeps us twitching along
A mumbling humdrum violent throng

Go to bed and dream some more
Go to bed and dream some more
Go to bed and dream some more
A life of denial or all out war

A sick world running on empty
You know we’re all scared of absolutely everything
Every active person is an enemy
Of a comfortable middle-class complacency
All we have is shame and fear
For all we believe, all we see and hear

It’s not for us they built these gardens
It’s not for us they protect this land
It’s not for us they built these gardens
It’s not for us they protect this land
It’s not for us they built these gardens
It’s not for us they protect this land
It’s not for us they built these gardens
It’s not for us they protect this land
It’s not for us they built these gardens
It’s not for us they protect this land
