lyrics

I have made a major new discovery
And this is what I have found
The world isn’t round any more
It’s gone all pear-shaped
Now there is no such thing as the devil
Yet there are devilish deeds
In each and every single one of us
There’s a touch of schizophrenia
And us, we are mere aspects, assets and facets
Of a supreme character
Which we call Nature
Nature is in the wind
And the wind blows hot and cold
And so does God

These confounding times
Twist our feeble minds
Every passing day
Complicates the way to Heaven
Because you’ve got to get to Heaven
We’re all stuck in malfunction and unease
And we serve more masters than we can appease
We all fidget in an endless line, waiting all in vain
For a zero chance of a million diamond shine
Calling out the weaker ones
Botched brothers and bungled sisters
Their dismay will pave the way
To brighter future and better day
Hey
Sacrificing everything that made you whole
Die-hard consumer – achieve your goal
So count the billions
Lining up for a cup of nothing
Nature selects you
To shuffle on and feed the strong
Is it you or the others?
Who will earn their rightful place?
How can this be decided
On who can be the worst disgrace?
I’ve tried to change the world
So, know if you come
With morals from ages gone
And try to right the wrong
The world laughs at you
You’ll bend the knee
To oceans of apathy
And when you’re swept out to sea
The world laughs at you
