Vacant

Cut the umbilical, make the incision You wished on bedrock without your x-ray vision It’s gone like all of you Now that the power’s down you live by match light Plowing bushes in the back five But you forgot to leave a soundbite It took the best of all of you This ancient architecture cut you down to size Where old affiliations wear a new disguise They’ll build a second nation if the creek don’t rise Then leave it vacant, you can see it in their eyes tonight Now they’re in prime time Walked out to the rite of spring With dirty mouthfuls, there’s another way to learn to sing They’re blind like all of you That parade of cynicism now sets the stage This is your catechism, but you can’t get saved You think you won this one, just wait until i tell you This ancient architecture cut you down to size Where old affiliations wear a new disguise They’ll build a second nation if the creek don’t rise Then leave it vacant, you can see it in their eyes This is a rotted culture, retelevised They made a killing on you, you believed their cries Now at a distance we see where the fracture lies They’re crimson vultures you can see it in their eyes tonight
