and you don't hear me because it's spherical
totally blind to all of the miracles
science explains away
distracted by the tragedies
they keep repeating on our t.v. screens
you know very well my friends
that you can't talk about, or think about
anything that we'll disagree about
it's getting worse here day by day
our tongues are tied
our beds are made
our cornerstone has been laid
let me swing my sword again
and we're disgusting
and we're perverted
and we're bored
and fucking proud of it
our ancestors are rolling in their graves
but we don't care these days
confusion causes pain
we live our lives in vain
one day we'll look back on this
and see the things we missed
the hypocrisy and jealousy
exploitations, insecurities
has us bickering with friends
and we keep gossiping not blossoming
and we jostling and posturing
just to try to get ahead
but it's all spiritual
not physical
you find an enemy unaware of
silent weapons for quiet wars
