"Past Is a Nightmare I'm Trying to Wake Up From"

Ancient holy wars

Dead religions, holocausts

New regimes, old ideas

That's now myth, that's now real

Original sin, genetic fate

Revolutions spinning plates

It's important to stay informed

So legless freedom marches on

Oh, and no one ever really knows you, and life is brief

So I've heard but what's that gotta do with the atom bomb and me

Age-old gender roles

Infotainment capital

Golden boughs and mercury

Millennial fashion, dust-bowl chic

This documentary is lost on me

Satirical news, free energy

Mobile lifestyle, loveless sex

Independence, happiness

Oh, and no one ever knows the real you, and life is brief

So I've heard but what's that gotta do with this black hole and me

Coliseum families, the golden era of TV

Eunuch's trance, consumer slaves

A rose by any other name

Carbon footprint, incest dreams

Fuck the mother in the green

Planet cancer, sweet revenge, Isolation, online friends

Oh, and love is just an institution based on human frailty

But what's your paradise got to do with Adam and Eve?

Yeah, love is just a commodity based on resource scarcity

So I've heard but what's that got to do with you and me
