on leaving school immersed in philanthropic notions
(of a kind these days I find unthinkable)
I pulled my frail frame onto my charger and rode off into a sunset
with agenda predictable.
fresh faced - young dumb and tragically convinced that
blind faith could make an infantile, normative
playground theory on social interaction
positive enough to show them all, but alas!
working the tills put hair on my chest,
telesales made me a man!
and everything was going to be ok, but
the making of the man was the breaking of the back upon the rock
of everyday hostility.
and I don't mean to seem at all ungrateful, but
the air-conditioned life has left me gasping for some real conversation.
and just because
turing couldn't possibly conceive a machine with this little personality
I'm working shifts in veal-fattening pens,
and yet I'm puppy thin because to tell the truth I've been hanging on
for something more than distant dial tones
and a sense of ending.

There are no ghosts
Watching through your walls
So put the cross down
And there are no angels
Reading your thoughts
Keep your feet on this ground
We getting scared yet?
The man in the blue suit's got God
Are we there yet?
The congregation's been sold off
They've been bought
What to do about tomorrow
Please let it come, just let it come
What you wanna do about today man?
It's right here staring you in the face
What a difference that would make
If we were finally awakej
We getting scared yet?
The man in the blue suit's got guns
Are we there yet?
The congregation's been killed off
We drop our bombs to lift them up
You've gotta be out of your head
Is it worth all the dead?
Do you like it?
Does the wife
Mind the touch
Of your reddened hand
Or the money on your breath?
Does your balance turn her on
Regardless of sin?
Blind your eyes watching sunbeams
You can't see this creeping pack of dogs
Blind your eyes watching sunbeams
The pure bread beasts wait licking their chops
Watching through your walls
So put the cross down
And there are no angels
Reading your thoughts
Keep your feet on this ground
We getting scared yet?
The man in the blue suit's got God
Are we there yet?
The congregation's been sold off
They've been bought
What to do about tomorrow
Please let it come, just let it come
What you wanna do about today man?

Regardless of sin?
Blind your eyes watching sunbeams
You can't see this creeping pack of dogs
Blind your eyes watching sunbeams
The pure bread beasts wait licking their chops
