lyrics

through the condensation on a window of a closed up company store
jet setter
signs his letters
on the dot from the killing room floor
sticky fingers,
the stench lingers from capital to capital with a capital t
its all over,
and now the whole world’s on its knees

we saw you wishing on those stars last night
watched as you pulled back the screen
you caught us sleeping on a dream

he turns the pages, the bloody pages
of the black book in his hand
he stole the wages, then spent the wages
of the proletariat
it’s only so long
til he reaps what he sows
riding bareback, saddle rash
on the middle class rodeo

we saw you wishing on those stars last night
watched as you pulled back the screen
you caught us sleeping on a dream

no more lies please
tell me the truth
you stole my freedom
but it's no use

mr johnson, are you happy?
now the whole worlds turning blue
everybody’s dying
everyones dying just to tell you what they think of you

we saw you wishing on those stars last night
watched as you pulled back the screen
you caught us sleeping on a dream
