Us of Lesser Gods
There's a breeze that's blowing in from the land
Instead of salt air, all we breathe in is sand
Crippled the cloud that once brought us the rain
Good job, now we'll never see our coasts again
But those of us, those of us, us of lesser gods
Won't eat till we're hungry, won't drink till we're parched
But those of us, those of us who forget where we're from
Create now this hell where no devil could spawn
Take me back, take me back to the way life used to be
A whisper's now saying what words used to speak
Starve must the child, hungry sex on TV
For no act of contrition will pardon the soul
The damage now glistens, see how it glows
But those of us, those of us, us of lesser gods
Won't eat till we're hungry, won't drink till we're parched
But those of us, those of us who forget where we're from
Create now this hell where no devil could spawn
Take me back, take me back to the way life used to be
Yesterday is better than it is today
And today will be better than tomorrow, they say
We don't want what you know but we know what we want
That's live and let live, we're all different accounts
But those of us, those of us, us of lesser gods
Won't eat till we're hungry, won't drink till we're parched
But those of us, those of us who forget where we're from
Create now this hell where no devil could spawn
Take me back, take me back to the way life used to be
Dark is the shallow man, proud without pride
Worn out comes the welcome from a truth that never lied
Weep now for the tear, cold on the face
So come down from your heaven, Lord, let me show you hell on earth
Take me back to the way life's never been
Instead of salt air, all we breathe in is sand
Crippled the cloud that once brought us the rain
Good job, now we'll never see our coasts again
But those of us, those of us, us of lesser gods
Won't eat till we're hungry, won't drink till we're parched
But those of us, those of us who forget where we're from
Create now this hell where no devil could spawn
Take me back, take me back to the way life used to be
A whisper's now saying what words used to speak
Starve must the child, hungry sex on TV
For no act of contrition will pardon the soul
The damage now glistens, see how it glows
But those of us, those of us, us of lesser gods
Won't eat till we're hungry, won't drink till we're parched
But those of us, those of us who forget where we're from
Create now this hell where no devil could spawn
Take me back, take me back to the way life used to be
Yesterday is better than it is today
And today will be better than tomorrow, they say
We don't want what you know but we know what we want
That's live and let live, we're all different accounts
But those of us, those of us, us of lesser gods
Won't eat till we're hungry, won't drink till we're parched
But those of us, those of us who forget where we're from
Create now this hell where no devil could spawn
Take me back, take me back to the way life used to be
Dark is the shallow man, proud without pride
Worn out comes the welcome from a truth that never lied
Weep now for the tear, cold on the face
So come down from your heaven, Lord, let me show you hell on earth
Take me back to the way life's never been
