Self Servin' Society

Paddy Casey

Everything is sold

For highway's guns and gold

The earth, the sky, the sea

Future and history



This is not how it's supposed to be

And those who died to set us free

Must be ashamed of our liberty



In a self serving society

Where computers are a deity

And everything's about the me



We sit by and watch it all die

Trained not to try

As the ghosts begin to cry



This is not how it's supposed to be

And those who died to set us free

Must be afraid of our liberty



In a self serving society

Where computers are a deity

And everything's about the me



The parade is all lies

It's a death march in disguise

Where we bury our hearts

So we can play our parts



In a self serving society

Where computers are a deity

And everything's about the me



And Christ gets locked up in a cell

The prophets are all there as well

For teaching is about the hell



So come back to life

So come back to life



No this is not how it's supposed to be

And those who died to set us free

Must be ashamed of our liberty



And Christ gets locked up in a cell

The prophets are all there as well

For teaching us about the hell
