KMFDM - Last Things lyrics
[KMFDM - Last Things lyrics]
"The constant realization of dominance
Results in fear"
Wake up tired with a mouth full of nothing
Deceived, distressed by the truth
They've been withholding
Televisionary, popular identity
Getting closer to the minute of our gravity
I sometimes ask myself: did I speak my mind
Or shut my mouth?
Was I a follower, a leader, insignificant
Mere shadow of a ghost bearing innocence?
Constative voices preach
Talk of truth in their political speak
Carry on 'til they're blue in the face
And my point of view has lost it's place
Last things did I give nothing in return?
Stand up for a cause?
Give permission to a mute war?
Call me ignorant, maybe I was never smart
Like a wolf running high on adrenaline
All the while in the din with a low hum
Rising up, growing loud, I can hear them
Religious, left and right
Power hungry heads of state
Melancholy death fall of our nemesis
Strong will survive, or so say our presidents
Constative voices preach
Talk of truth in their political speak
Carry on 'til they're blue in the face
And my point of view has lost it's place
Last things did I give nothing in return?
Stand up for a cause?
Give permission to a mute war?
43242 Code 1
Troops move forward, let it all be done
Beginning of the end, soil has been tread
Mother, daughter, father, son
Sky burns death premonition, television
Stuttering indecision
We the people, citizens
Lies are being force-fed
Money, power, cruelty
Blood is shed in our streets
When, where does the sacrifice end?
We're falling fast from the war inspired
Double-standard idiots
Helter-skelter henchmen
Consequences catastrophic
Lead us not into temptation with your
Damning words and glorified hatred
A vengeful lineage
We will bear alone to our death
Constative voices preach
Talk of truth in their political speak
Carry on 'til they're blue in the face
And my point of view has lost it's place
Last things did I give nothing in return?
Stand up for a cause?
Give permission to a mute war?
43242 Code 1
Troops move forward, let it all be done
Beginning of the end, soil has been tread
Mother, daughter, father, son
Sky burns death premonition, television
Stuttering indecision
We the people, citizens
Lies are being force-fed
Money, power, cruelty
Blood is shed in our streets
When, where does the sacrifice end?
Does the sacrifice end?
Does the sacrifice end? Last things
Does the sacrifice end? Last things
"The constant realization of dominance
Results in fear"
