Got No Soul |
Late for work again today |
Somebody’s lying down on the job again |
Will you people please stop jumping under my train |
Ladies and gentlemen, there will be a slight delay |
While we hose the blood away |
(And the clock keeps ticking…) |
So I spent my evening wishing I never was born |
Drinking toasts to that hood with the hooves and the horns |
'Cause the roaches won’t do my laundry no more |
And the rats refuse to fix the holes in the floor |
Water comes through the ceiling… |
I asked a pig if he wanted to dance |
He said is that a .45 in your pants |
Or are you just glad to see me? |
(rim shot) |
I said, All I need is a distraction |
Or maybe a sense of satisfaction |
Perhaps a pair of pliers to rip off these blinders |
Because my peripheral vision is dying |
It ain’t as if I ain’t trying |
I’m a rat in a maze of my own devising |
And is that a call to arms… Is that a call to arms I hear rising? |
Is that a call to arms I hear rising out of that concrete hole? |
Yer war on drugs got no soul, yer hired thugs got no soul |
You hippy trash got no soul. |
Yer yuppie cash got no soul |
Yer video clips, yer beauty tips, remote control |
It’s a big black hole. |
Got no soul. |
Got no soul |
And the clock’s clicking off like the timer on some big neutron switch |
Except that there’s just one hitch: you gotta strike it rich |
Before the shit comes down |
So they’re out there panhandling for gold |
Prospecting in the street, sifting garbage in the gutter |
Digging in the tenements, looking for a vein |
Trying to find that big score: the mother lode |
And everyone’s a wannabe -- the wicked and the weak |
The victors and the victimized, the economists and the economized |
My T.V. mind-set is shattered (sh'dooby) |
No guts, no glory, no balls -- whatever you wanna call it -- |
There ain’t nothing real there at all (and I don’t feel whole) |
Yeah, yer mobile phone got no soul. |
Yer rolling stone got no soul |
Yer music scene got no soul. |
Yer answering machine got no soul |
Yer microwave, yer toilet slave. |
You corporate swine |
Yer bullshit line. |
Hey you on the payroll! |
Hey you on the J Train! |
Hey you on the T.V. News! |
Hey you in the 3-piece suit! |
You got no soul. |
I got no soul. |
Got no soul |
