lyrics

hey diddle dee oh hey diddle die
the earthquakes are coming better run for your lives
and hey diddle dee oh hey diddle die
as nihilist truths all blind our eyes

well make peace with your maker
and make peace with your mind
causse all our lives are liminal
as we crave for the sublime
some call it god, some call it oil
some call it progress this destruction of our soil
some call it democrasy
I call it a crusade
guised in well in tention
thats tailored and made
to suit corporate interests
that thrive off of greed
and live off the lives of those in need

hey diddle dee oh hey diddle die
war is now the norm and all it costs is lives
hey diddle dee oh hey diddle die
and we all ask why shrug and sigh

we sit down in silence and read our magazines
we plug ourselves into virtual scenes
as the text of reality infultrates our dreams
and we wake up in the morning with things that arent as they seem
we drown ourselves in symbols both signed and signified
in a world that strives to be so standardized
we live our lives based unconsciously
on slavery, injustice, and blurred history

hey diddle dee oh hey diddle die
were all gonna die, were all gonna die
hey diddle dee oh hey diddle die
why settle for survival when the truth can make us thrive

cause this mortal coil is a queer strain of life
prescioous in the universe and rare in the skies
steeped in suffering and straining for joy
driven by desires we cant sustainably employ
cause were trained to want the next best thing
in a world thats disposable where convenience reins supreme
and were trained to see eachother in the same light
as servants, and strangers and the idolized

but hey diddle dee oh hey diddle die
change is inevitable it happens all the time
and hey diddle dee oh hey diddle die
the revolutions coming its just a matter or trying
