lyrics

the piece in the paper caused a panic
the sheiks and the mages automatic
action to heat consists of static
here comes the sun to scorch our envious sons

the piece in the paper caused a panic
by bleeding the public interest
seize the moment when they say
that you need to believe the heaviness of the seas

so we sail
with a minx and a sheet towards the whale
but the stick’s in the butter and the cannon’s in the ground
raids on the admirals are never to be found

the sheiks and the mages caused a panic
by bleeding the public interest
seize the moment when they say
that you need to believe the heaviness of the seas

so we bleed
for the many people and their needs
i don’t blame the indispensability we found
how can it be wrong to desire all the sounds

the sheiks and the mages caused a panic
by bleeding the public interest
seize the moment when they say
that you need to believe the heaviness of the trees

so we were wrong
we were wronged by the rights all along
i don’t blame the leaning or the cynical alarms
if you are empowered then you have the right to harm, it’s on

but it’s all the same through the history and pages
all the same, it’s inevitably in vain
it’s the change, there’s no change, flip through systematic wages
but it’s insane it’s so insane to be living anyway

write a letter with a b, it will end with an l or an e
and you see the letter with the same old song
what’s the only reason to sing a long
well i don’t know and the people haven’t known and the president has shown that annihilation goes where nobody knows

but it’s all the same through the history and pages
all the same, it’s inevitably in vain
it’s the change, there’s no change, flip through systematic wages
but it’s insane it’s so insane to be living anyway
