[C Gatz]
We're in that 20th century, out in San Lorenzo
Papa on his d**h bed while Bokonon's going mental
Follow fake religion just because it's so essential
And you know that ice-nine's creation will be monumental
[hook]
No one man should have all that power
There's blood in the sand and ice on the flowers
The world's ending I just count the hours
Papa's dead, the city's gone, and the ocean's frozen
Trusting someone with ice nine got the ball rolling
Anybody seen bokonon?
Population shrinks, the d**h toll is growing
In bokonon's world, we're the ones chosen
Seems like my kara** ain't waking up in the morning
It's fine, I'm sick of mourning
All my clothes froze, ain't even got something to mourn in
[hook]+how could god do this with all his damn power?
[hook]
In search of a purpose, man I found it with some pragmatism
But religion without catechism is bound to reach a cataclysm
Bokonon brought us all together like electromagnetism
But eventually led us astray with his false antagonism
Can't have any order when the whole island's theocratic
And the autocratic preaches peace, but can't back it
Chaos reigns, the sea's reachin us, what's my last act
Im on my back, God's watchin, im looking back at it
[Lion's Crib]
End of the world and its thanks to man's hubris
Thirsty for that power and they think that God is doin it
Written from the start cus its in our DNA
To gain all of that knowledge go to UCLA
It's the era of advancements
I'm smarter than my gran is
Cus I can control what's living and inanimate
We are power hungry
And there's competition
And in this power hungry world survival of the fittest
Till we finished
[outro]
“Someday, someday, this crazy world will have to end
And our God will take things back that He to us did lend
And if, on that sad day, you want to scold our God
Why go right ahead and scold Him
He'll just smile and nod.”
