Pity & the Fool

Live at prime time this season
Voting for the sexiest celebrity
While bombs pound the pavement over eden
And spies orchestrate another tragedy

At the edge of time
Failure would be so cruel
"It should be a crime"
Shout pity and the fool

Oh, all embracing chaos
Incorporating inside our skins
Till there is nothing left of us
Never wept, nor dashed a thousand kim

Snake oil salesmen
Give their marks a stroke
Colonialists are sipping tea
As the Earth goes up in smoke

Outside the Exxon armies
Are cutting down the family tree
And everyone is naked lunch for $
As far as I can see
