Lion Cribs - Greater Power lyrics

[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.”
