Now there's no one left to vote for
And there's very rarely been
Any voices of the people
Who are not of the machine
Of the giant public monster
eating survivors at the scene
Swearing blind it never saw one
Hiding the bones that everyone sees
And everybody knows
That the monster goes insane
The revolution's always over
The apocalypse is now
All hands are on the keyboard
Hardly any on the plough
The new government's the old one
Same old handbag at the helm
Lapsing back into religion
Letting the voices overwhelm
While everybody knows
That everybody goes insane
It got so crazy on the frontline
Manning barricades to wait
On the motherboards of freedom
For the hordes of solid state
But that was Long before the menu
Would have a problem with the date
As the mice became the men
Far too late, far too late
Now that everybody knows
That everybody goes insane
As the Monster leaks
From the tip of my tongue
Before he speaks
Right after he's rung (wrong?)
My church is now down in the dungeon
Through the fourteenth corridor
Virtual walls and somersaulting (can't quite tell what is said in this line)
Through the electronic horror (hall?)
We're at the level of playstation
Where the rich become the poor
Down on bended knees they're praying
For much more, for so much more ...
Cos everybody knows
That everybody goes insane
Now that there's no one left to vote for
Only fools to vote against
All the refugees surrender
The perimeter's been fenced
Six billion dreamers are all banged up
By the sacrement of dough
Parasites of the great religion
Of the W.T.O
Where everybody knows
That everybody goes insane
When a Monster speaks
From the tip of the tongue
Before he speaks
Right after he's rung (wrong?)
So I must now give up the memory
Of all ideas of freedoms gone
Be as silent as I'm angry
About my trip through babylon
View the building of the fireball
With the psyche of the snake
Make my killing every lunchtime
And sleep it off till I'm awake
Untill everybody knows
That everybody goes insane
Till everybody knows
That everybody goes insane
