about

Track #5 off Upon Our Wonders (2011)

lyrics

In the dead of night, we're all alone
No civil rights, no place to call our own
Cannibals feed on us
While the gears of their machines slowly rust
A prototype of the blamed
A voodoo child, faceless and unnamed
My Third World grows, my value lies
In your home, where you don't have to hear our cries

Because you always run away
Back and forth across the slate
But simple minds are hard to change
When nobody takes the blame

Capital takes flight
And the days go by
And before we know it we're left to die
But I don't care what you think you need
I don't want no more tears for my family
You bought it, you sold it
But you'll never own it
'Cause this planet's not your commodity
And this you'll never see

Because you always run away
Back and forth across the slate
But simple minds are hard to change
When nobody takes the blame

There were days when life was something
More than just a fuel for the state
What have we become, for a system
Doomed to failure, a lifestyle of which you're so sure

Because you always run away
Back and forth across the slate
But simple minds are hard to change
When nobody takes the blame
