lyrics

I dunno if you’ve seen it
The malnutrition I’ve been hiding in
Or rather the kind I’ve been seeking
American dreams are not for the human being

I dunno if you’ve seen it
The free world is ruled by tyrants
Tectonically shifting power promised
Away from humanity.
Darlings, you must quit the crying
Cockroaches, novocaine thesaurus
I take the pavement is cold and inviting –

When there's more rubber to burn.

Looking back we’ve been hungry,
Unfaithful thieves of the marketplace
Shrouding truth and intention
From all those who stand in the way.

Looking back we’ve been starving
Monstrous marauders raking in the spare change
And I cannot wait to be starving

Once again!

This balderdash, plutonic system
What the mind can’t take berates to blossoms
Maybe it’s the capability of moving onwards
When there's more rubber to burn.

I am not the one you seek.
I will let you down in fury.
I can hear it once again.
A fatal call to walk as men.
