lyrics

Shadows in the fog
make that one a double
you see the blue lights
i'm staying out of trouble
could not leave the city I don't regret that
just half a prayer I can stretch that, bet that
some of the neighborhoods underwater
some of them gone and some are lost and
all changed for good i'll accept that
but I can't stand to live inside the panopticon with
all the eyes on every corner every keystroke damn it all
the gutter's for the hunger dogs the 21st century full of cameras
first they take your cigs away very next day might take your chances
they dont' know the half
they dont see the cracks in it
central square is clean now
but it's so fuckin passionless
seems like a fever dream, this country's a pyramid scheme
and your fearless leader's not who he appears to be
he guzzles champagne and he worships antilife
we're under the gaze of brother eye, he's never satisfied
yeah he talks all populist
but when you looking past the rhetoric, it's just a plutocracy
an some of the lucky ones get the crumbs, and some of the bums get nothing
and some of these young ones fuckin dumb cause they think that they can trust him
so why not get in line
and take what they will give you
and swallow all the pills
like madmen locked in bellevue
and that's the way it goes
and none of us can change that
I still got my memories
time cannot decay that
