Past is Dead |
| Solemn regret |
| Transgressions fill my head |
| A measure of success |
| Is how well to forget |
| And the past is dead |
| Strewn about the battlefield of life are the remainders of history |
| When convenient we exalt them |
| And pay them such respect |
| As if we’re all in an equivalent trajectory |
| And trash piles high |
| In the rubble we forgot |
| The angels of our nature |
| Just sit and watch it rot |
| Now, the past is dead |
| Let’s focus on tomorrow instead |
| Oh the tragic present said |
| The past is dead |
| Who can say what constitutes the most important sector of society? |
| When the dominant portion |
| Seek an instant gratification |
| And are proud of intellectual poverty |
| I’d like to be |
| Empathetic, but I can’t |
| The jeopardy’s |
| Too great to make a stand |
| Now, the past is dead |
| Good deeds won’t help you get ahead |
| Yeah, the modern signpost read |
| The past is dead |
| My next great decision is just lying in wait |
| My action might turn out to be the world’s most grievous mistake |
| Wach-o! |
| Yeah, the past is dead |
| More veritable words have never been read |
| Oh, the tragic present said, «the past is dead» |
