21st Century Heartburn - The Great Deceiver

The life you lead

Is it worth the effort?

Capitulate!

The life you lead

Is it worth the effort?

Why don’t you capitulate?

You place your hope

In your duties

Responsibilities

The patriarchs

The routines

Uncomplicated

And cold

Of the empty hearts

Of the empty hands

Through barren lands

Proud of our arrogance

We will all waste away

And all of our possessions

They will not keep us safe

Through labyrinths

Of cynicism we run

Scared of the answer

At a common frontier

Of understanding

The last light blinding

Forgiven

For the crime of being

But not for that of seeing

Forgiven

For the crime of breathing

But not for that of believing

Of the empty hearts

Of the empty hands

Through barren lands

Proud of our arrogance

We will all waste away

And all of our possessions

They will not keep us safe

No salvation

No regulation

Propaganda on repeat

No salvation

No regulation

Suffer the load complete

Where’s the hunger?

The dedication?

Where’s the urge

We had to break free?

Where’s the passion?

The appreciation?

For a life not lead

Around in a leash?

Where’s the hunger?

The dedication?

Where’s the passion?

The appreciation?

Where’s the hunger?

Where’s the hunger?

Of the empty hearts

Of the empty hands

Through barren lands

Proud of our arrogance

We will all waste away

And all of our possessions

They will not keep us safe

No salvation

No regulation

Propaganda on repeat

No salvation

No regulation

Suffer the load complete
