Incessant, perdition
Got the, incessant
perdition
But it's
O K
It's all
Mentos in the mouth
I've got my,
incessant perdition
And I'll be damned
If you get out
Another day of the
harsh reality
The world was puking
out its livelihood
While we were watching
TV
Perhaps we paused for a
second and pretended we cared
But I tell you baby it
ain't heavy in the incessant perdition
Another day where we're
all against each other
I'll take my money in
my pocket
I'll blast your life
asunder
When the coin falls
only by chance do we relate with humanity
Still it's scorn and
war wrapped up as a present and dubbed "peace"
Incessant perdition
like an advertisement
And we're dealing out
the IOUs
On the global market
With our
self-proclaimed logic we sometimes try to look back
But in the incessant
perdition we're just too accustomed to making the same mistakes
We just love too much
to frivol and fool at this
We love to laugh with
tyrants and at your dying kids
We love, unjust
treatment
Thumbs up to, dragging
us back
We love to see
innocents explode, to see imperialists attack
Hoorah for, oppressive
institutions
Pat on the back for,
our own disillusions
We enslave the
guttersnipes
But our profits make
things fine
We have degenerated
Earth
To a point to all known
well
For the incessant
perdition
Is indeed our hell
Incessant, perdition
Got the, incessant
perdition
But it's
O K
It's all
Mentos in the mouth
I've got my,
incessant perdition
And I'll be damned
If you get out
Redemption dims as a
faint concept outside
But we keep using it
for our purposes
And enjoy seeing the
rest denied
In the epoch of only
adoring and upholding yourself
The incessant perdition
makes sure to leave us all in good health
Oh, the folly of our
simple lives
The corruptibility of
our wasted strives
The tendency of all
things to become arrogant
Just roused the world
for the incessant perdition.
