Darken Down

from Troglodytes by The Great Insanity

lyrics

serpent tongues tell me i am free
while fat cats buy up my liberty
modern shamans whore mass medications
to a deranged and frightened nation

spirituality becomes a mockery
we turn to drink and drugs so easily
rushing to adulthood with an expectation of possibility
stop dead in your tracks
debt, 9 to 5, tow the line, pay your tax
you never could imagine such strife
wave goodbye to the big dreams in your life

darken down

poisoned gruel spewed from industries
disinformation clogs my arteries
corporate hawks scheme annihilation
while the media monger indoctrination

can revolution be the solution
*something* preach our rules and regulations
*something* the promise land
for the atonement of earth's retaliation
why deny the shifting tide
waste, toxify, desecrate ocean and sky
you never could imagine such vice
wave goodbye to the conscience in your life
