Ninety Two Years |
| Ninety two years of progress is beginning to decry the toil |
| City in chaos, country apathetic and there’s something wrong with the soil |
| Secondhand truth, people so aloof |
| Don’t you see your senator crying |
| Helpless, selfless, living off the lifeless |
| Ain’t no wonder that there’s so much prying |
| Sillified scenes of mongoloid plans |
| Anything to make a buck |
| Riptide, sulphide, throw it in the river |
| And your water’s going to turn to muck |
| Maximinity, inferiority, they always gonna go together |
| Hamlet is the loser and Apollo is the winner |
| 'Cause they tell me that’s the new frontier now |
| God is on the road, along with Mr. Toad |
| They’re looking for another planet |
| Christ is on a cross, he suffered heavy loss |
| And we’re worshipping a piece of granite |
| Buddha’s sittin' still, high upon a hill |
| He couldn’t care one way or the other |
| Allah’s in the bath, he doesn’t want to laugh |
| 'Cause he’s sick of tellin' us we’re brothers |
| We go to grow |
| I say grow |
| Grow |
