it's quiet out here
there's barely a sound by a river of blood
and i'm surprised i can't hear
any complaint or protest at all
just an electric blue
flickering strobe
shining through the windows
from that god on the wall
sell me an image
sell me someone i can be
keep me from thinking
beyond the guidance i get from machines
oh what would I do?
what would i say?
but "man, i sure made a difference on that election day"
sea's rising,
oils bleeding
gluttonous beasts wipe their cheeks
as the news prints the score
but cash is flowing
and fields are dying
and as the rain stops, she can feed her children no more
but i want something more
so i'll sell you an image
yes i'll sell ya someone you can be
and that should keep you from thinking
beyond the guidance you get from machines
oh what would you do?
what would you say?
if you had dominion
over that mouth on your face?
