Buried By The Light - Prey for Nothing

Before you share your manifest

As a contagious sore

I’ll play the urban pessimist

You’re rotten to the deepest core

It’s not a vision in your eyes

As just another brain cell dies

A deadbeat nation with no guide

Hysterical peace-keeping whores

You little barefoot busy bee

You speak of brave new love

You preach of turning back to basics

But there’s a laptop in your lap

You’ll change the world with tribal dances

And a multy-story modern Zen

What makes you thing you’ll save the day?

All that you do is second hand

The stench of change that makes no change

No change at all!

I must confess with no regrets

I cannot wait to watch your fall!

Buried by the light — that swept this modern age Rome

Buried by the light — funeral pyre of what I called home

So now you say you’ve traveled far

With lots of cash and time to kill

With meanings hidden in a jar

Messiahs made of little pills

You think you are the throne’s redemption

Where there’s no fear, there are no questions

You hold the keys of misconception

That all you saw was real

Rebel as much as they allow

When time is right, you’ll break your vows

Become your parents anyhow

And the mediocrity that they endow
