Depth and darkness

This is a song for those that think that there must be something more
a trinket; a charlatan leaves a lingering doubt
a stale breeze echoes through your cobwebbed caverns
There's a depth and a darkness you've never seen.

You wear a watch that you've never seen running
you've not looked 'neath the rug in your dining room
what goes on behind neighbours' closed doors?
There´s a depth and a darkness you´ve never seen.

Beneath the sheen of your social veneer
beneath your manicured nails
are hunger and thirst, greed and hate
tempered only by a thread of guilt
There´s a depth and a darkness you´ve never seen.

Moral ground

Here in the rat race, weaving and ducking,
I've got a plan, I can't linger:
I'm looking 'round, for my high moral ground,
And when I get there, I'll get me a big finger.

I drove a truck for the last ten years,
but couldn't handle life's demands
now I wonder what the future holds,
water falling through our hands.

Don't talk about economy,
let's remember ancestry.
Now I've got my castle built,
I hate the building industry.
Beware my acid-tongue, you vile infection,
there's one thing our ruling mediocrity failed to mention.

Oh, you who live in sycophancy just
to be elected for a new day:
One cannot replace in man, by law,
the morals that we lost along the way.
