In a state of disrepair...

Tabloid minions of opinion
run and shout aloud
their dreams of new suppression
in panoramic sound.

Revolution comes when all
is said and done
with monumental hatred
blazing like the sun.

The revolt lasts a millisecond
on a global clock.
Idealists turn to despots
who never will be stopped.

Ideals behind a movement
are bloated like fat pigs.
The essence of new empire
replaces them instead.

The lessons of the masses
are passed from hand to hand
and the heartbeat of tomorrow
is blood spilled on black sand.

...bleed...
Lather, rinse, repeat
is the World's decree.
To me it seems to be
revolting... literally.

"The world won't end in darkness, it'll end in family fun
With Coca Cola clouds behind a Big Mac sun."

One God by The Beautiful South
