sayin thingz

You keep on saying these things
Please, what do you mean?
You tell the most wretched lies
I have ever seen
You think that my existence
Is just so obscene
You keep on feeding the fear
Into the machine

Keep your base happy, keep your face clean
Get on TV and cause a big scene
All you really want is the attention, right?
And those paper and plastic delights

Your heart is made of gold, that useless gold
The worthless standard of old
Your mind is a winding staircase
Full of excuses and terror and mold

Bomb the whole world for all people care
Delude yourself with a prayer
You can get away with just about anything
As long as you can pay the fare
The politics of the emaciated
Will never catch on with the fed and elated
We need to keep pushing back
Be on the attack

The world keeps spinning while we all waste away, yet
People, people refuse to listen
to
just
what
Justifications abound while others are slain, oh
Isn't it enough to drive you nuts? AHHHHHHHHH

You keep on saying these things
Please, what do you mean?
You tell the most wretched lies
I have ever seen
You think that my existence
Is just so obscene
You keep on feeding the fear
Into the machine

I wish you'd just go away
And please leave us be
It's really just such a drag
That you can still breathe
I don't think that's being harsh
It's a desperate plea
I'll reach out to the universe
For what we all need

You keep on saying these things
Please, what do you mean?
You tell the most wretched lies
I have ever seen ("seen" repeats)

REPENT

Individuals
All around
Individuals
Underground
Like an arrow
In the ocean
Stimulating
Locomotion
You have tried it
You can taste it
While you lie, it
Gets replaced, it
Feels so useless
Out-controlled
You wanna stay alive?
Don't ever do what you're told (told)

You wanna play games like you never agree
It's a dangerous thing to go plant from a seed
If you try to repent you will never recede
Take a look at yourself and who you wanna be

Never ending
Outer Space
Could we ever
Take our place?
Why look upwards
To the stars 
When you can't even
Start your car?
Nightmare flashes
Demon days
Eyes on prize now
No delays
Please don't help us
So she says
You're just another piece
Of analyses

You try not to think, and then you start to grieve
It's more common an occurrence than I'd care to believe
If you try to repent you will never recede
Take a look at yourself and who you wanna be

<moog solo>

<sparse music>
You stare at the sun 'til your retinas bleed
You can try all you want, but they don't keep their creed
A ridiculous notion was plucked from a tree
And it always seems to revolve around me
You think that it's fixed? Go check it again, please
You don't wanna be the one who's crawling on their knees
The vermin are driven by nothing but greed
Ain't it a shame that they think that it's them that we need 

You wanna play games like you never agree
It's a dangerous thing to go plant from a seed
You try not to think, and then you start to grieve
It's more common an occurrence than I'd care to believe
I'm drowning in air, I'm engulfed by a sea
Of deliberations centered around murderous screeds
If you try to repent you will never recede
Take a look at yourself and who you wanna be
