1. Until Your Well Runs Dry
Beaten sons and pregnant daughters,
is this the generation we'll bring upon us?
Their vision blurred, status quo down the drain
how can they give if we teach to obtain?
While we long for their trust
We just know that they'll cheat
Tell them greed is unjust
Yet take more than we need
Tracking systems in our wallets
X-rays at our doors
Nerve gas, lasers, wiretaps
Pushbuttons settle scores
(lead Berchmans)
While we long for their trust
We just know that they'll cheat
Tell them greed is unjust
Yet take more than we need
I'm gonna need a medicine
To cure all my wrongs
Cause all my mental fuses
Are gonna blow
These anaestethic luxuries
Are melting my brain
To see and not speak out:
this is society's bane
I fight it and I fight it and I fight it
So desperate to maintain
But it's a losing battle:
I'm going insane
2. Through The Mind's Eye
Staring at the world – looking through the mind's eye
I see things for what they are
The poor are starving, suffer genetic wrath
While the rich try to buy the joy they never had
Staring at the world – looking through the mind's eye
I see you for what you are
Too weak to separate body from soul
So scared to rest your mind cause you might lose control
Through the mind's eye…
Staring at the world – looking through the mind's eye
I see the righteous struggling
Materialistic ages and human zoos
I smell the violence, the lies, the hate, the abuse
Staring at the world – looking through my mind's eye
I see myself for what I am
Society's ills running through my veins
I'm better off than most yet I ain't got no shame
Through the mind's eye…
(lead Berchmans)
We know we're going down the river
Yet we persist in our course
We think we're sailing by the stars
But we drift headfirst straight to the source
