Something For The Pain

Smiled upon a stranger in the blue marble basement
Her words were out of time and her eyes were all vacant
From the static reception, the latest mutation
Of the old escalating, consumption of hatred

Said my people got no name and we don't have a nation
We know our place is waiting on your minds liberation
There’s a glitch in the system, of conventional wisdom
‘Till we make our decision to get up and give them

Walls for the wind
Shelter from the rain
Something for the hunger
And something for the pain

They hailed it as the dawn of a new civilisation
They didn't need the workers they had full automation
Technological vision, our subliminal prison
‘Till we made our decision, to get up and build them

Walls for the wind
Shelter from the rain
Something for the hunger
And something for the pain

Justice rolled like water and the paradigm shifted
Freedom was the reason, but the script had got twisted
And so we moved onto, this significant junction
A legitimate function, of the means of production

Walls for the wind
Shelter from the rain
Something for the hunger
And something for the pain
