Novocaine Response

Kinetic Dissent


Self-stricken from their blinded eyes 
What is their future? 
Telling of the screams of Guernica 
Is this our future? 
Clutching at their medicated minds 
Our neo-leaders 
Choking in the novocaine response... 

We are driven underground 
by the novocaine response 
Yet there must be hope to see 
before the sadness screams 

Novocaine relinquishing the future 
for dying change and sadness screams 
Novocaine denying us our crimes 
As for hope: sadness screams 

We are hidden by ourselves this time 
What is our future? 
Just like the war in '39 
What was their future? 
But where's the town of Guernica 
If no one listens? 
...New York or Moscow, it doesn't matter 

We are driven underground 
by the novocaine response 
Yet there must be hope to see 
before the sadness screams 

Novocaine relinquishing the future 
for dying change and sadness screams 
Novocaine denying us our crimes 
As for hope: sadness screams 

A closed mind is paralysis: 
a seething ignorance; a regulated sketch 
The cancer bores its way inside: 
an urgent need to kill; an urgent need to die 

Sadness screams a loss of man: 
denying us our fate; 
enslaving of our tears 
Responses dulled by leperous blinds: 
a novocaine response for medicated
