lyrics

run away from hope that should dissolve
the sinews of desire that connect to stupid thoughts
imagination, what-could-be, where you are so nice to me
what isn't killed transplants and sprouts new crops of boring hopes and doubts

liars, all you cryers, sow your faces in the ground
grow up something stationary that never moves and never makes a sound
you should know that there's no need
to forestall what is meant to be
what you probably mean to say is no worse than what i think anyway
i know exactly what i am, i'm powerful, and i can withstand
you insult me with your greyed-out link of condescending mystery

you are no silver stars of purity and faith
you're servants of your ego, pride, resentment and disgrace
and there's no escape, no rhyme or reason to your fate
no god of love or heaven's gate
just bars on windows, bolted doors, starving saints and fattened whores
the promise of injustice and disrespect
to be shooed or stomped like a worthless fucking insect
i know the feeling, it's alright
the happiness it's stealing, we've got to fight
the clerics of denial, the weight upon our souls
meet the new messiah, his name is rock and roll
taking over the cities, replacing fear with peace
reducing carbon footprints, planting lots of trees
whoa my god i'm so pissed off
oh my god, i am getting...angry...it's making me mad
i hate the world, i hate it all
look me in the eye cause i'm getting mad
time to get down to the brass tacks
gotta find something to dissolve my anger
please would you be my lover tonight
and make everything quite alright in my mind
it's something to fucking distract me
distract me, i need you baby now
to make me feel ok, some way, somehow
