lyrics

voices change the mood of the day.
telephone ring breaks the silence.
college of broken wills remains.
lip service is paid to guidance.

thoughtless use belittle's what nature has gained,
our focus is on our weapons of mass production.
time was waiting for no one to arrive,
bending and stretching its way to the other side.

circumstantial quality
speculating louts
who has the chance of finishing
before the lights go out?

science pushes us in ways we couldn't guess
as we hold out our hands for a gaming edge.
we preen and prance about, seeking to impress
instead of searching for knowledge.

our grand elixir hides in a shell game
as we bow before the great god of commerce
and though we may well try we can't seem to refrain
from thinking it should all be ours, more for less.
