No Little Pill

Joey Cape


I thought the west was won but
Seems I had just begun to
Lose all ideals I once knew
Mountains and transmutation
Anxious anticipation
These sodden skies and burning views
Short goals and vain objectives
Soon rising seas will take our homes
Benchmarks and sure salvation
Creation and temptation
Black lungs sing virtuous hate songs
Antibiotics and disinfectants
Germa-phobes for stronger infection
Androids on steroids love tabloids
And they crave an endless surplus
Soon they'll have nothing left to waste
Racing from dogma to distrust
Soon they will scream "God Save Us"
Think about it, think about it
The world describes you
Think about it, think about it all
You should be depressed
And no little pill should make any difference
People for atto seconds
Bow to their idiocracy, media spun reality
Nightmares most every shuteye
Still they won't see what they have done
Still we won't see what they have done
Power mad mass corruption
Blood money changes everyone
Wake each day in panic and distrust
Knowing why they all hate us
Think about it, think about it
The world describes you
Think about it, think about it all
You should be anxious
No little pill (repeat)
Will make any difference
Children born uncorrupted will see the forest for the trees
Then watch us burn it to the ground
