Roaming
this world is roamed by beasts who can't be reasoned with they got frantic eyes and hearts with fangs and minds swinging fists they've shed oceans of blood for their pride comfort security power success markets influence assertion of their certainties this world is roamed by ghosts who can't believe this shit their outraged outstretched arms pass right through what they've already died to touch and affect oh frigid gasp that asks is this still the same case? a whole history on which we've just turned out backs watches us march right through the same mistakes this world is roamed by beasts these days they wear fibers spun into business suits they're always on the prowl for young minds to hunt down and subvert and recruit from the podiums of status they flail their claws that will never see combat or work they're animating the farce of their state and their laws that makes killers from boys and cold steel from warm earth so vote for me! fight the war! and above all keep working. fly the flag! spend the cash! just be grateful that you are free. free to rent yourself out to get paid free to swallow each war to consume and obey free to accept this is the way it is the way it's always been and that it's always gonna be this way Letras de cancionesthis world is roamed by beast who can't seem to understand that we could all live comfortably enough without the upper hand without the fenced off land without the chain of command without the systems and routines that keep a brilliant existence placid and bland this world is roamed by ghosts who are hard for us to recognize seems we've forgotten the bayonets that hoses the bullets they spray in our eyes have they succeeded in beating us back into the denial of delusional amnesiacs? this world is roamed by beasts who could be you or I we're pitted against each other despite the common glow in our eyes can you disarm enough to meet me at the crossroads of our common need? it's not my fault! not my problem! not my responsibility! to each their own, each for themselves, just be grateful that you are free. free to get as much as you can and claw your way as high as your pockets are deep. and free to never have to try and understand other beings and their hearts and their minds and their dreams.
