lyrics

there are factories that turn sadness into gasoline
there are factories that turn sadness into coal
there are factories down by the river
no one works there
just steel and fractured souls

there are cities that turn people into darkness
there are cities that turn people into parts
just bones and muscles and some sinews
no one even lives here
just cars and wal mart

they manufacture everything
people are just parts
but they are a part of us
so its not just them vs. us

there are places that turn hunger into dollar bills
there are places that turn hunger into walls
and now we cant go in any direction
we’re surrounded
but those walls can have holes

there are places that turn bleeding into alcohol
then prescribe it to close up the wounds
and they say that if we listen it gets better
but I cut my ears off
and I filled them with gauze

they manufacture everything
even our crumbling health
and do all they can to keep us ill
and tell us we’re well

there’s this nebulous notion of the powerful
shadowy men who took over the world
who use government technology to control our thoughts
but if that’s true why don’t we fucking kill them?
well maybe its just not that simple
and there's no people who are in charge at all
just a headless body politic that keeps marching toward the edge
and its whispering lies from out lips
to our ears

there’s people that leave oil spills
wherever they go
and they try to turn us into goods
to promote their will

lets refabricate everything
we’ll make forges of our souls
burn the notions of good and bad
undo the oil spills

there's a powerful force that controls us
that manifests in all our hidden scars
but if we acknowledge that it’s in there
we can heal them
and be uncontrollable
