Prophecy

The weathers getting cold, the pollution’s growing thick

Life on this planet now only makes me sick

You want to curl up into a foetal ball

Block your eyes and ears numb from it all

As the days connect in this labyrinth of stress

Life once simple is now a fuckin mess

The city is faceless brimming with toil

Like a vat full of scum it starts to boil

Yearning for money to numb the pain

But the world of employment will drive you insane

Get a nestegg of savings for a rainy day

But the government will tax it til it dwindles away

The news reports just keep getting worse

The rapid decline of mankind’s curse

Shackled to work and bound by debt

Consume synthetic reality through your TV set

Try and move from the city but all the land has been raped

The plush remains divided by Corporate stakes succumb

To crime and you’re only playing their game

Locked in a cell, your 15 years of fame

The rain never stops the sun never shines

Keep the drapes drawn the streets are full of eyes

Recoil in your world of paranoid fear

Urban existence will make your soul disappear

We're infected with cancer and dying of aids

Top of the food chain but we are starting to fade

Tamper with nature brings impending doom

Eating genetically modified food

You want us to pray to a god that is a myth

A moral placebo for our consciousness

Hidden surveillance records your daily routine

While you pledge allegiance to the system machine
