Running on Fumes |
| What we need is to see |
| the refraction of history |
| Through a lens free of abject |
| denial and the presence of fantasy |
| Men of science who put us to sleep |
| standing post at the secrets that they keep |
| We’ve gone too far to turn back now |
| and the question becomes how |
| When everything we’ve learned is wrong |
| Lest we forget all we’ve lost |
| have we wasted our best years |
| For the sanctified traditions that we pray |
| Lest we forget honestly |
| does it make you sick inside |
| That we approximate democracy that way |
| Break the will of the young |
| through restraint of the pen and tongue |
| Bringing doctrine inside of our schools |
| prospectus as curriculum |
| Now the system is running on fumes |
| there’s an outcome that we can’t assume |
| Tear dissent and our choices away |
| to recreate the American way |
| Where everything we learn is wrong |
| With empires built on fantasies |
| through patriotic reveries |
| Can the sacrifice be absolute |
| when the opposite is true |
| And now we see the world through blinkered eyes |
| With beautiful for spacious skies |
| And the animus we realize is finally dawning on you |
