about

Originally recorded for EP5.

lyrics

awards for con men who say they've saved the world / by feigning generosity
experience takes hold over emotion / in superhero costumes
what we need is more not less they say / see they were right about the future
and we should listen to them only / because they knew they could build it

patience is key when you listen to me
it's only 2 or 3 more years of waiting
like Noah's Ark, it's gonna rain, and float you up to the top of the flood
with fools watching, nodding their clearly inferior heads
but all of the sewage still pools at the bottom
/
they're off to the top
you stay at the bottom

market to heart and they'll put down their arms / we swear it's surely worked before
co-opt the messages that can be watered down / then sell it to children
get them when they're young and they'll think we're heroes / build the loyalty early
never pass down the messages we wrote out of the books / what they don't know can hurt them

if they do not know / they will not speak
they will not notice / how much we take
if no one learns / then no one shares
if no one hopes / then no one dreams
distract them with / good acting deeds
if no one sees / then no one bleeds
