Eliza Gilkyson - 2153 lyrics

Well their brains were quite large for their bodies And it lulled them into thinking they weren't dumb They did guns, extreme sports, special hobbies And cool tricks with their fingers and thumbs. And they thought they would be guarantee delivered To some guy in Roman sandals and a beard So they bought and they fought and they Twittered By 2153 they disappeared. Ah, they waited for their god in vain Yeah they waited for their god in vain In the last big play of the final game They waited for their god in vain. Oh, they went for the literal translation Of every text and symbol sacred work and screed They obsessed over minor variations Misconstrued the truth to justify their deeds. And they thought that all the others were afflicted And those who knew the secret handshake would be saved And they thought in the end they'd all be lifted Now they're lying in the beds that they made. Ah, they waited for their god in vain Yeah, they waited for their god in vain Standing with their luggage waiting for the transport plane They waited for their god in vain. Ah, they waited for their god in vain Yeah, they waited for their god in vain When they called out for their god each one used a different name They waited for their god in vain. This is all we can conclude from what's left of their remains They waited for their god in vain.
