World Gone Wrong

from My Witness Is The Empty Sky by Syd R Duke

/

lyrics

we’ve got lives to live and souls to find
paths to choose through broken minds
skills to learn and serious debts to pay
a lost cause stuck wasting time
with too many years of these modern crimes
it’s a twisted brain that thinks it has anything to say
we’ve gone over the rules one too many times
we’ll be set free just as soon as the great bell chimes
knowledge seems vain, yeah the world’s gone wrong
we see your game, we play along
shenanigans but not for long

a battle here and a victory there
a hidden hour spent without a care
a time that’s blocked by your cynical expertise
get out of our minds and leave us alone
i’m off to find a less shallow home
begone from here you fiend, you deadly tease
fighting off the rebels with a steady, fierce approach
you could seem to be some sort of divine reproach
knowledge seems vain, yeah the world’s gone wrong
we see your game, we play along
shenanigans but not for long

you’ve had me at your beck and call
i sympathised but i’ve been your fool
i’ve tried so hard to make my dreams come true
i’ve seen through your mask and i’ve watched your show
there’s nothing about you that i couldn’t know
you man the door to ensure that i can’t pass through
watching all the people with a wicked glint in your eye
i know that look, it’s the last thing i saw before i died
knowledge seems vain, yeah the world’s gone wrong
we see your game, we play along
shenanigans but not for long

knowledge seems vain, yeah the world’s gone wrong
i see your game, i play along
shenanigans but not for long
