Paean to the Enlightenment |
My line falls out tempting providence |
One more dime spent on the fence |
As you mourn the wretch of innocence lost |
True lies and surrogates |
Room, board and benefits |
Boardrooms make breeding grounds |
For selfish bastards anyhow |
And the grace that we really live for |
Are the sacrifices made |
Protracted and betrayed |
Enough to suffer |
How many rats will tip the scales |
Of failing finance |
How many brave and able men will be lost at sea |
Who dares to complicate |
And the retaliate |
Renouncing tolerance of everything they see |
Follow like sheep |
A face in the crowd |
A good team player |
Give me blood |
Give me truth |
Its what we came for |
The frayed myth of enlightenment |
Is a supposition |
If you believe |
Smith wrote anything but fiction |
