Pain Of Salvation - Kingdom Of Loss

 (versiyon 1)
Metin boyutu: ( + Büyült ) ( - Küçült)   
Someone sells us Toys in a cheap cartoon

someone sells us Cars in the latest Bond

that’s coming soon

someone sells us Trends through a sitcom star

someone sells Herself in a docu-soap

that goes too far

Life on sale

can someone please just tell me what happened?

I mean, first we pay for fastfood that will make us all fat and tired

so then we pay for elevators

so we won’t have to climb the three stairs up to our aparents

then we buy freakin’ StairMaster machines

so we can burn away while watching someone make real food on TV

now, if that doesn’t make us winners I don’t know what will

I bet we would hang ourselves, if the world would just cut us the slack

and now you think maybe you should see a shrink

help you feel alive again - yeah, that’s a plan

just tell us who to pay

someone sells us Man in a White House speech

then Woman tightly pressed

between two bouncing breasts on a Baywatch beach

someone sells us Us everywhere I turn

then introducing Them

to earn stock points on our concern

all for sale

it’s all for sale...

welcome down to planet Earth

please don’t ask us what it’s worth

you will notice that the world you found

is slightly tattered and worn down

someone sold us every stain

now if you wish to complain

there’s an open spot at 6 pm

that’s when Caucasia is listening

if you’re tearing down my world

please just try to do it gently...

there is love inside

for a dream that has to die

see, it’s really all about time and choice:

the fastfood saves us enough time to squeeze lunch in exactly when we want it

the elevators save us just a little more

and the StairMaster lets us choose exactly when to walk the stairs

time is so important these days

it’s becoming a fucking disease

and I guess in a way it is

since it is bound to kill us all in the end

now with all the time and money we stash away on others’ expense

I can only assume that the tickets to hell are really expensive

and for some reason

it’s important to be first in line

someone sells us God in 2-for-1 with Shame

someone sells us War

and the marketing looks just the same

someone sells us Fear on TV each day

a shape for every taste

if the flavor’s right we gladly pay

all on sale

we’re all on sale...

welcome to the only Earth

please enjoy your only birth

you will learn to take more than you give

buying scars we must live with

someone sold us every scar

they somehow made us what we are

we all want that spot at 6 pm

but no one is really listening

no

not anymore

we’re all too busy

buying Sex

buying War

oh

buying Self Confidence

Security

Insurance Plans

just buying More & More

as you’re tearing down my world

please just try to do it gently...

(there’s still love inside for the dream that had to die)

as you’re tearing down our world..
