Pass out the eulogies, spit on your enemies
give up on the fear he gives a shit about your holidays
It’s just paid vacation, with the minor implication
that someone might actually loves you
It’s nice to think we’re needed for some bigger reason,
but reasonably speaking it’s just like the changing of the seasons.
A natural anomaly, lacking in meaning but probably
we’ll never really know the truth.
What if I wrong and there’s an Afterlife.
What if I’m right and you’re just wasting all your time.
Praying for a fortune you’ll never win, never taking it on the chin
always coming out on the loosing end…
Now getting back to basics we take things for granted,
the environment is fucked, yeah the wealth gap is slanted.
There’s bombings in the desert, and I can’t find my sweater
and it’s getting chilly in my room.
Now if everything thing we needed was right here in front of me
I’d never need a thing, the world would be in harmony.
I’m not asking you to renounce it, just think about it logically
cos somewhere down the line they lied to you.
Wasting all the time that you’ve got left
pushing faith in front of facts and figures saying
“He’ll save us from (this)"
Don’t forget to take in whats right here and now
it’s like you already bought your ticket
and the lights are fading down
Maybe when we’re dead that’s all that happens,
or maybe when your dead there’s something waiting for us.
It’s just east to forget that it’s being alive that truly matter
