Lyrics Cruel Inventions - Sam Phillips

Cruel Inventions

Two men with empty pockets put lipstick on a little girl
And another dream goes by They make her ride the rockets
That fall into a sea of pearl
And another dream goes by Power stealing through
Fading out of view
Our cruel inventions
The beat generation all got on the morning train
And another dream goes by They left me at the station
Breathing dust from hopeless rain
And another dream goes by Un-invent the wheel of endless greed
Let conscience run like a river like a dreamer
A world of elevators with music like magazines
And another dream goes by Magnetic separators divided by a wall of screens
And another dream goes by
