Roy Harper - The Monster lyrics
Your rating:
C Now there's no one left to vote for D And there's very rarely been C No more voices of the people G (F#) Em Who are not of the machine And the giant public monster Gathering summer's silent scream Swearing blind he's not been seen Hiding bones that everyone sees [Chorus]: C And everybody knows D That everybody goes G (F#) Em D In - Sa - ne 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 handbags at the helm Lapsing back into religion Letting voices overwhelm [Chorus] It got crazy on the frontline Manning barricades to wait On the motherboards of freedom For the hordes of solid state Long before the menu And the mice became the men Far too late [Chorus] Now my church is in the dungeon Down the fourteenth corridor Virtual guards surround me With electronic walls We're at the level of playstation Where the rich become the poor On their bended knees they're praying For more, so much more . . [Chorus] No there's no one left to vote for Only fools to vote against The refugees have all surrended The perimeter's been fenced Six billion dreamers are all banged up By the screment of dough And the new religion of the W.T.O [Chorus] I have given up the memory Of my years of dreaming on To be as silent as I'm angry About this trip through babylon I feel the building of the final Psyche of the snake Make a killig every lunchtime Sleep it off until I wake [Chorus]
