Underground - Daedalus

Oppressive and overcrowded

no way out

you’re trapped inside the maze

loudspeakers in every corner

no licence

to heave a sigh

Climbing high

sinking into the ground

creeping like a rat

Your place is ready, you’re welcome

join this cheerful cattle car

Rushing down

pushing anyone

I wonder what you’re missing

Through smell of rust and backwater

like rotting meat in a dump

If your eyes are lifeless

while you lean against the wall

at the end of the tunnel

will you find your redemption?

Talk in a loud voice about nonsense

find your heroes in a free newspaper

wasting your poor life performing

stupid rituals without understanding why

Don’t get up late in the morning

this is your doom twice a day

If your eyes are lifeless

while you lean against the wall

you may think it’s your duty

and you’ll win your prize but

at the end of the tunnel

there’s just another station
