Lunatics

Every day another goes down
Like the sun that sets on our heartless town
Lost souls crying for a lift from the ground
Don’t it break your heart when you hear that sound?
But you just keep running in the same rat race
While you laugh at the ones that fall from grace
I just can’t face

All you lunatics
Lapping at the blood of another victim
All you lunatics
Hail the modern crucifixion now

You’ve got no time to help a brother
Too busy scratching for another dollar
Fixate on your collar color
Judging books by tattered covers

You can’t hear the misery on the street
When you march to the capitalist beat
I’m in retreat from

Cling to your bible and your wallet too
Avert your eyes and try to muscle through
Cry about how hard it was for you
To sip your overpriced caffeine
Near the casualties of the American dream
You’re so obscene

Don’t you feel ashamed when you pass them by
And refuse to look them in the eye?
How the hell do you sleep at night
When the cost of your greed is a human life
Compassion’s kryptonite for

All you lunatics lapping at the blood of another victim
All you lunatics!
Hail the modern crucifixion
All you lunatics lapping at the blood of another victim
Get your schadenfreude fix
And hail the modern crucifixion now
