lyrics

The course is set:
Breastfed on synthetic oil
Swaddled in antifreeze
This child is born; but in this dark modern era
Will the child only know the light of a lamp post?

Don’t hold your breath
You’ll be holding it until you’re dead

Don’t hold your breath
You’ll be lobotomized by your own mechanical devices

...but drugs give them an escape
You can’t save us
You can’t castrate us
We go on vacation

You can’t tame us
You can’t castrate us
We’ve resigned
In blood

The course is set:
I’m 22 years old and there’s nothing to show
I’m smaller and weaker and dumber than before
This child is shorn, and his shoes are full of holes
Running from the lamp posts- a sick green glow eats up my shadows

If there’s no hope in this world
We’ll move on to the next one
On our desert island
There is no food or water
and the sun will boil our brains
but at least we’ll be free
