Auto'geddon Blues

Cope Julian


I had a dream in the middle of the day
And now my waking dream won't go away
I watched the city swallow everywhere
Only shantytowns of despair
And these thing i saw;

Roadculture at the end of the line
Citydwelling at the end of the line
Motherfucking at the end of the line
These things i saw + these things are fine
I had a dream i the middle of the day
And now my waking dream won't go away...

Motorway services were the new cities
The poisonous air had wrecked our homes
Gasoline rivers burning up the seas
And i saw my people down on their knees
I had a ream in the middle of the day
And now my waking dream won't go away...

So i left the city just to breathe some air
Just to keep my old brain from busting
Yeah, i left the city just to breathe some air
But out here in the fields...
You know they're still just fields,
Still fences + signs screaming;
"keep off my land
No trespass - by order"

By drunken disorder my likely, old prick,
Your drunken development's making me sick
Your drunken development's making me yawn
I shit on your reason
Your rose is my thorn

I had a dream in the middle of the day
And now my waking dream won't go away...

So i walk walk walk right over the land
Yes, i walk + i keep on walking
I grab a rock from the ground, yeah,
This is no game
Decide i'll let my rock do the talking
"till a man drives up in a 4x4
Up to me all alone on this lonely moor
And my rock says "hullo" this has gaping jaw
And my rock says "bye-bye" to his bleeding head,
Well, i never saw a dead man but he looked dead

I had a dream in the middle of the day
And my waking dream won't go away.

And they wonder why a man behave like this
Behave like he wants to feel the land is his
But i heard mama crying in my deepest dreams,
Mama tooold me to do it
This is mot what it seems
There are more of us a-commin'
There are more like me
Messed up - messed up with nothing to lose
It's a barbed wire fence
Which side do you chose?

And i can't shake the feeling this has happened before
My nightmare returning
In auto'geddon we're burning (repeat)
