Omega

Lyrics

What a skeletal wreck of man this is
 Translucent flesh and feeble bones
 The kind of temple where the whores and villains
 Try to tempt the holistic tones
 Running rampant with free thought to free form
 In the free and clear
 And the matters at hand are shelled out like lint at a laundrymat
 To sift and focus on the bigger, better, now
 We all have a little sin than needs venting
 Virtues for the rending
 And laws and systems
 And stems ariff from the branches of office
 Do you know what your post entails?
 Do you serve a purpose?
 Or purposely serve?
 Lying down inside of your atavistic galore
 The value of a Summer spent
 And a Winter earned
 For the rest of us there is always Sunday
 The day of the week that reeks of rest
 But all we do is catch our breaths
 So we can wade naked into the bloody pool
 And place our hand on the big black book
 To watch the knives zig-zag between our aching fingers
 A vacation is a count-down
 T-minus your life and counting
 Time to drag your tongue across the sugar-cube
 And hope you get a taste
 What the fuck is all this for?!
 What the hell's going on?!
 Shut up!
 I could go on and on, but, let's move on shall we?
 Say, you're me and I'm you
 And they all watch the things we do
 And like a smack of spite
 They threw me down the stairs
 Haven't felt like this in years
 The great magnet of malicious magnanimous refuse
 Let me go and
 Plunge me into the dead spot again
 That's where you go when there's no one else around
 It's just you
 And there was never anyone to begin with now was there?
 Sanctimonious pretentious dastardly bastards
 With their thumb on the pulse
 And a finger on the trigger
 Classified my ass! That's a fucking secret and you know it!
 Government is another way to say
 Better than you
 It's like ice but no pick
 A murder charge that won't stick
 It's like a whole other world
 Where you can smell the food but you can't touch the silverware
 Hah, what luck
 Fascism you can vote for
 Isn't that sweet?
 And we're all gonna die some day
 Because that's the American way
 And I've drunk too much
 And said too little
 When your gaffer taped in the middle
 Say a prayer, save face
 Get yourself together and
 (See what's happening)
 Shut up!
 (Fuck you!)
 Fuck you!
 I'm sorry, I could go on and on but
 It's time to move on, so
 Remember you're a wreck, an accident
 Forget the freak, you're just nature
 Keep the gun oiled and the temple clean
 Shit, snort and blaspheme
 Let the heads cool and the engine run
 Because in the end
 Everything we do
 It's just everything we've done
