Living On A Marble |
1984 might be a good year |
But it won’t be so good for you and me |
They’ve already got us surrounded |
There’s nothin' but disharmony |
You don’t realize they got you categorized |
So subtle it can’t be detected |
They got a chain around your brain and you might as well be lame |
It’s too late you’re already infected, ha |
Universal love can be a good thing |
If everybody stays on their own soil |
It’s when everybody tries to get together |
That’s when the blood begins to boil |
Birds of a feather will always flock together |
No matter what the situation |
But when they tried to build the Tower of Babel |
It turned out to be God’s damnation |
It turned out to be God’s damnation |
It turned out to be God’s damnation, hey |
Though a man has walked in space |
Sent a rocket up to the moon |
We’re still no nearer to the stars |
In fact we’re running out of room |
Destruction is a black mushroom |
(Mushroom) |
Growing out of politician’s hands |
(Oh yeah, yeah) |
This government speaks about freedom |
(Freedom) |
But they bring nothing but destruction to the land |
(Ow) |
Absolute power corrupts absolutely |
(Yeah) |
We need decentralization |
(What's that supposed to mean?) |
Cut down the power and you’ll cut down the size |
(That's right) |
That’s our only salvation, whoa |
Though a man has walked in space |
Sent a rocket up to the moon |
We’re still no nearer to the stars |
In fact we’re running out of room |
We’re living on a marble, we’re living on a marble |
There go your feet, there go your knees |
There go your hips, there go your waist |
There go your elbows, your shoulders |
There goes your heartbeat |
