lyrics

476

Must be nice overseeing the empire
Where the laws no longer hold
Must be nice to be showing profits
From the ruin being bought and sold

Someone's buying up all the credit
Sells it back at twice the price
Someone else feels like a loser
Broke and homeless at twenty five

Maybe we can go see the movies
Where the stories have all been told
Maybe we should buy more gadgets
Give the techies out west more gold

The police will surely help us
When they stop committing crimes
All insurance has a vital purpose -
Making sure we die on time

[chorus]
Close your eyes
Don't ask why

All the forms filled with endless fine print
All the bank accounts overdrawn
Did we think we were winning something
When they moved us around like pawns?

The apocalypse must be coming
Let’s get high, finish up our plans
End of days for the last great empire
Better get out while we can

[chorus]
Close your eyes
Don't ask why

The substance of our lives is collateral
Our souls forever lost in the engines of progress
They’re collateral
Our souls will be undone by these weapons of progress
