lyrics
dream of boundless bounty
though our harvest carts
stay empty
dream of boundless bounty
though our harvest
keeps getting more & more empty
work for the boundless bounty
of the few & never
the many
————————————————————————
well i’ve heard those lullabies too
i heard ‘em from my birth to the present
they heard it from a fertile crescent
now a desert
& all those little roman babies too
they’d soon learn all about
subservience to the few
& how they’d dream of wearing the hues
that glitter off the golden suits
& how we dream of wearing those same hues
that glitter off the golden suits
of progress that we never knew
that was for the chosen few
& never the many
& certainly neither you nor me
————————————————————————
well i’ve been over it & i’ll stay over it
…ten million times
every time
i step outside
the assembly line
& i realize
well we’ve been bought,
we’ve been sold
just like visions of gold
cause we were bought, we were sold
by mere glimmers of gold
(it’s getting old) —
————————————————————————
— by the old men
sitting behind some desk
snug in their suits of progress
“if you work real hard,” they say
“you can be me
come on & live
the top level dream”
but some destinies never do seem
to manifest for neither you nor me
just ask betty
————————————————————————
well i’ve been over it,
yeah i’ve been over it
…10 million times
every time
i see Sisyphus climb
with her aching back
with his sleepy eyes
we’re all striving for the reality
behind something that just stays a dream
striving for the reality behind
strategically implemented bullshittery
————————————————————————
from pyramids to pyramid schemes
it’s all the same thing to me
thy kinsmen become the next kings
why do you think that they supplant them?
they plant themselves
inside the revolution at first
& we just stand idly by
waiting for somebody else to create
little white lines
