The Ocean Collective
Hadean / The Long March of the Yes-Men
Sitting out the goosestep
Of the long march of the Yes-men
As their gold card wielding wives
Are consumed by bitterness
It takes a lifetime to conceive
That your days here are but brief
So they snivel, repeat echoes
That buzz off every screen
No matter that the sociopaths
At the top of the human trash pile
Refer to us as cattle: we are branded, sold and fatted!
We're raised for a purpose
A drear existence on the work farm
And then a quiet death in the nursing-barn
"You must pay your dues!"
"You must pay your dues", cries the humble mind
We're distracted with excuses
Why we can't reach for the stars
And so we never spring to arms
To claim back what's being taken from us here
Every single fucking day
"If you can't beat 'em, join 'em", another one cries
We're distracted with excuses
Why we can't reach for the stars
And so we never spring to arms
To reclaim what we are losing
Every day
"You must pay your dues!"
We're distracted with excuses
Why we can't reach for the stars
And so we never spring to arms
To reclaim what we are losing
Every single fucking day
