All This For Nothing

ALL THIS FOR NOTHING

I don’t think we’ll have to look very hard
To see your colours shining through
Holding as you do in highest regard
The very shackles binding you

Put your faith in repetition… everyone in competition
Weakness dressed as human nature… grab yourself a stolen future
And then run…

All this for nothing
You started off with something… something to defend
The truth gets you nowhere
You’ve gone and left it somewhere…will find you in the end

I don’t think we’ll have to wait very long
To see your fault line world fall down all around you
Talking heads still tell you who’s in the wrong
It’s the only show in town that you’ve found

Put your faith in politicians oozing from your televisions
What else is there…
Corporate news as readers digest vindicates your violent conquests
And then some…

All this for nothing
You started off with something… something to defend
The truth gets you nowhere
You’ve gone and left it somewhere… will find you in the end

Free your mind some other time
Bow to the freedom to find your truth in lies

Put your faith in science fiction governed by divine convictions
And keep buying
Noble beings are future traitors… we all love benign dictators
But there are none…

All this for nothing
You started off with something… something to defend
The truth gets you nowhere
You’ve gone and left it somewhere… will find you in the end
