lyrics

Money’s talking trash put that voice in the litter bin,

Politics put Peter Pan into early retirement.

Empathy exists inside little Petri dishes,

Love I hope to no one that I can believe in it.


Take out the pre-meal ritual of crossing both my shoulders,

Up to mirrors to oil all of the mechanisms of coping.

My guardians float away and I’m plucking at their feathers,

Icarus descending over Sisyphus’ mountain.


All those campfire kids criticizing the arrangement of the kindling,

Are overbearing scout leaders, wilderness badge dictatorship.


Money’s talking trash but I’m trying not to listen,

Politics revealed the secrets of all my favourite magicians.

Empathy is weak it’s survival of the sickest,

Love I hope to no one that I can believe in it.


This is the death of tangible progression,

Everything here that remains is social second-guessing.


All those red pen obsessed kids campaigning their peers to be class present,

Are now administrative powers, Adams, Eves with golden apples.


Every little girl is the mother to the daughter, every little boy is the father to the son.
Every little girl is the mother to the daughter, every little boy is the father to the son.
Every little girl is the mother to the daughter, every little boy is the father to the son.

It’s less the earth more of the water,

We twist ourselves into the mold that we become.
