lyrics

...Still battling against the rising tide of indifference that has sauntered up the sand and passed on to the grasslands. Into fertile soil it seeps its poison and we dig the dirt like it's oil we're searching for; a civilisation of Exxon Mobils - just now shit out of luck and cognitively fucked - we shovel the results into piles. In the midst of our glorious work we rest on shovel handles and cluck our tongues as the human dregs we've created beg on scraped knees for any meager scraps to take back to hungry kids, but we still don't want to part with our bigoted pronouncements like, "We need to scrap the whole Welfare Department," "They never deserved the help to start with," "The cost of all these handouts is disastrous," and I don't even know where to start with that. It's just that the prevailing sentiment is sending me to despair; too many nights I've spent bemused by all their declarations. Imagine my frustration as these very same outspoken drones are fired from their worker-ant roles, then proceed to shuffle and supplicate for the money they're owed to help them pay the ticks on their homes. There but for good fortune you go.
