Swansongs
This World! What a wonderful world it is! Just see it right. This Life! What a wonderful life you lead! Just relaz and enjoy - - while you're one of the privileged few who need not struggle to stay alive Enjoy it while you can There's something behind the beautiful scenes Suffering and Pain So be aware, this situation cannot last, the imbalance is too great and it's growing still Do you know who it is that keeps up our welfare? Do you think they're going to do it, take it much more? When the number of the exploited compared to those who exploit grows high enough - - Things can get tough So enjoy - - while you're one of the privileged few who need not struggle to stay alive Enjoy it while you can 'Cause it can't last.

Running low, low In the night The gears are turning Somewhere deep inside the fuel is burning From incubation to cremation our lives are controlled Plugged into our sockets, fed with preprocessed junk information Flying high on our virtual wings of air Alienation Ears shut, eyes shut, living a dream, so beautiful, so graceful, it can't be real Here enjoying the fruit of a dying tree Exploitation The end justifies the means Art for art Pleasure for pleasure Valves of survival are forgotten Death before inconvenience It's decadence I see it all around Its song fills my ears and eyes Waiting for the tides of time Swansong of western culture Beautiful, sad and cruel Fading out and dying out As we're running out of fuel

Dreams of beauty Dreams of order Dreams of harmony Dreamtime over Our protecting mother Ignorance was slain Now that we control our fate the question is no more 'why' but 'what' and 'how' We're in trouble now And this nightmare is reality Dying in laughter may not be so respectable b then, who is there to judge? Afraid of world's complexity Blindly running in circles with no direction Consciousness, our greatest mistake Innocent death would be sweet Dreams give us back the dreams A hysterical monster with 5,000,000,000 heads not knowing what to do with itself Afraid of the world's perplexity but face the facts Our futute depends on our own greater understanding Expanding the capacity of our processing ability The one hope I see must do as we must now fight ourselves with words Dreamtime over Next stage of evolution Conscious alteration Species substitution Unbiological progression

Secluded in a prison of expectations It's hard to break free Models of behaviour all around saying be like me Given from above Spread by those we love Deforming our views Gearing values Conditioned to consume Our desires harnessed to serve the sacred tast to consume Serve it well - And you'll find yourself in an earthly hell ....the truth ....the whole truth ....nothing but the truth ....that's all I want to know
