Song Lyrics

My friend, would you like to know about
My vision, I saw almost all of us
And we were drowning
Suffocatin' under a weight
Immense and well known
Stunned into silence
And so on it goes

Now, hey, all you citizens
We're biological engines
With spiritual pretensions
Don't you know, don't you know
Hey all you people
It seems kind of feeble
A cage so evil
Don't you know, don't you know

My friend, would you like to know
About my vision
A city so heavy
It was floundering
Petrified and alone
This city of clones
Drugged into silence
And so on it goes

And I feel
And I know
No way to go
No escape to know
No end to the shore
No seed to sow
No water to flow
No plant to grow
No end

David Lachlan Thrussell, John Kilbey
