Lurking Up Above (Musical Poem)
Описание
Partial Lyrics: Lurking up Above The marchers rambled down the street They all went by the same beat The mantra was incredibly clear The entire world was due to be upset They’d be the new biggest threat No matter the weather or sweat They’re here to say the end is near Can you live through the upturn and repair Or do you even have a prayer How much disgust and contempt is possible Or else will before you find yourself withdrawn The world of white riches call you black swan They will claim the world you’re hunting for is bygone And the bridge that connects it is uncrossable There’s something lurking up above It’s hiding, putting on a glove They’ve closed the nearest shelter So now we are all left out to swelter Don’t worry though, the city has a new swat The street cleaners have been given a new authority The councilmen voted on it with a majority The marchers were dismissed as a minority The sidewalks were sold to the rich as a plot Most of his friends are sleeping rough While Sam curled up in all of his scruff Decades ago he’d had his last interview The employer couldn't quite take the smell Or how he’d no experience with the doorbell He’d just been patted on the back and told get well Without legal tender how’d he be anew There’s something lurking up above This life isn’t something you walk out of The overhang man has permanent exhibits He understood what the law prohibits I can’t just slander everyone But there is a cover up coming from organization They won’t tell you this on the tv station They’re stealing, killing, and this is the causation They want to put your normal life on the run They’re putting a poison inside your water And lying to you about the planet being hotter It’s a simple form of control and trust They have a patsy they knocked off with a gang Because they knew he’d talk before he’d hang Do you really believe you’ll go out with such a bang No those secret men will pound you into dust There’s something lurking up above It did not come with a dove Jake saw all problems as a root of education Too many people are worried about damnation But they don’t see the problems lying in front of them Most people don’t have the right qualifications To figure out how to avoid their foundations And this is the base of humanity’s frustrations Everyone is too busy mistaking the root for the system The world’s heating up, money doesn’t go as far All the nations and powers are getting ready to spar Nationalists and racists are snatching up seats The ignorant deniers of reality are taking charge Money is being moved into the pockets of the large Your son doesn’t have a chance unless he becomes sarge It won’t be too long until more of us are sleeping in the streets There’s something lurking up above It’s looking for something to dispose of Cue stood screaming about the second coming Shocking even those who were out here slumming They said fiery light angels will come from the heavens And tear the unbelievers from their souls
