lirik lagu million dead – i gave my eyes to stevie wonder
credit cards, sealed lifts and covert sanitation, processed meat and a national waste disposal system:
the scale of deception begs the question what it is we’re burying.
cosmetics, contact lenses and plastic surgery:
bulk orders for yet more imperial finery.
double-glazing for phasing out suspicions that this is really happening.
it seems this season the cool kids are sporting white canes and braille zines.
and when i close my eyes am i invisible?
an embarr-ssed smile and you -ssume that i’m being rhetorical.
but if i don’t see it die, this animal is invincible.
i won’t catch your eyes tonight,
i will stutter my way through naked poverty until i’m across the street (safe).
i justified giving my eyes to stevie wonder with some spiel about a sense of wonder to discover,
but i was hiding under cover of the excuse of helplessness.
i fell in line with the cool kids and spared my eyes instead of change.
i just called to say that someone moved my furniture around,
and so i fell down,
and i hatched a plan here sprawled on the ground.
so hey, what do you say,
we pack our things and call it a day.
some come round,
let’s lose that frown,
and you and i will leave this town behind.
