lyrics

This cult of Grand Wizards thinks we make great pets
and all these Babylon babies carry shit on their breath
and paychecks for the pills to fill the holes in their head
Living dead sent to wreck and retire

Proles are yanking bootstraps until they fall down dead
and all the lumpen ready-rocking keep their babies fed
Everybody's pissing in this burning bed singing
“We didn't start the fire”

But i'll bet my life there's something better
Better than this mess

We should be running through the jungles and the sewers tonight
and gunning for the gaps in the satellites
With our slick skin gleaming in the lunar light
We can make it sparrows I know it

But i'll bet my life there's something better
Better than this mess

Super Powers in golden towers flip channels on their crystal balls
Direct death squads and diplomats from the safety of their hallowed halls
Now their future's so bright its a bastard's delight
but clouds are massing outside the walls
Look to the sky keep blood in our eyes chip bricks and make the towers fall

Now this cult of Free Lovers laughs in the rubble of Rome
They got the guns all buried and the circuits blown
and the Grand Wizards slaughtered on their cannibal throne
Lifeless eyes watch a new world turn

People shaking out the sickness from their beat up bones
Pulling their battered brains out of the twilight zone
Tracking new constellations out to parts unknown
vowing never to return

They sing i'll bet my life there's something better
Better than this mess

Big dreams coming down tonight
burn through nightmare skies like meteorites
Big dreams coming down tonight
hitting hungry hearts like falling starlight
