Hey, won't you tell me where I stand, I've lost sight of who I want to be
Everything is flashing, clashing ever-changing.
Everybody wants to get inside of me
If there's a message in anything I've done
It can be found, so won't you tell me if it's still as loud
Can you tell me if I'm still raw and underground
If there's a pattern in all the things I am, It's up the cloud
So won't you tell me if I'm still around
Oh, won't you sell me back a piece of what you've found?
You get the Bronze Plan for free, but that's not fit for you and me
Platinum's the best, courtesy of Big Corps Healthcare PLC
Privately owned public spaces, water features, no ill-fitting faces
Aspiration stays fabricated, keep the nice community gated
Locked up tight in our exclusion zone, we don't meet people, we're on our own
Packaged up, Revolution lite, this is how we like to fight
This keyboard is my machine gun. My ISP weighs a ton
If I was allowed out of my box, you'd hear my bombs...
Tick tock...Tick tock.
Hey, won't you tell me where I stand, I've lost sight of who I want to be
Everything is flashing, clashing ever-changing. Everybody wants to get inside of me
So...You've got what you wanted?
You've pushed and pushed and pushed some more...
Comedians with a conscience. Altruistic ac-tors chasing Oscars
Pied-Pipers leading everyone over the side of the worlds biggest mountain
Hampstead dinner party commentariat
Worshipping the thoughts of history's greatest mass murderers
Masked ball Masonry
Demanding you do what they say, but never what they do
Keyboard warriors fighting oppression with oppression.
Jailed and ruined for words

This is not a Revolution...It's a management buy-out
Then there's the invisible presence in the sky.
All seeing, all powerful, the ultimate drug
And these are just the little things.
Every action has a reaction
The new emperors, strutting, planning, conniving.
Shifting people like pawns
Displace to misplace. Poison the roots
We are monkeys with money and guns
It was never going to end well was it?
Off world? They've been watching, and they don't like what they see
But we had our chance, and now they're coming...
Check for rain in Oosterbeek
Bodybags with crests
Truffles, drizzled with hormone of young African
All Polygraph components within a ten mile radius impounded
Ivory cutlery
Handles embellished with flower patterns made from Black Rhino muscle.
Balls deep in rentals
New attendee tattoo, inks blended from Human iris'
Snuff. On tap
Imperative to employ only untraceable service staff
Pre-pubescent forest hunt arranged for those who want exercise
Reconvene for meetings one second past midnight sharp
You're either invited here FOR lunch or you ARE lunch
Please make sure you know where the exits are
Something big will happen soon. Something BIG will happen soon
You are a special snowflake

Gorgeously vibrant Folk from a group of people who truly sound like they're living and breathing the Music they're making.
The songs and playing are wondrous and you're placed by the river with them. The Soap Company
