Ghost Town

from Less Than Nothing by Joe Bailey

/

lyrics

In the foundry, where they bear down,
They grind their fingers away for the turnaround.
It's getting cloudy in this ghost town,
They tighten the bolts as you fade into the background.

What can I say? You're counter productive.
You're just not machine enough for me.
You're dragging us down, you're slow and obstructive.
You're just not routine enough for me.

Inactivate, impersonate, humiliate, eliminate.

And in the end we'll be less than a number,
We'll be begging the giants on the throne.
And our hearts will be beating each other,
Until we're dead and unknown.

Eradicate, evacuate, depreciate, disintegrate.

After all, we'll be less than oblivion,
Crawling feral through the spit and the spite.
Discontinued by man-made civilians,
We detonate like dynamite.

In the castles, there are treasure chests.
They lay the feathers in their golden nests.
Forge the shackles, neglect the unrest,
Keep oiling the joints in the palace of the grotesque.

What can I say? You're all disappointing.
You're just not machine enough for me.
Look at the haven you have been spoiling.
You're just not unseen enough for me.

Bionic, robotic,
Robust and free from pain.
Life hackers, kidnappers,
The code is the new brain.

Inactivate, impersonate, humiliate, eliminate.

And in the end we'll be less than a number,
We'll be begging the giants on the throne.
And our hearts will be beating each other,
Until we're dead and unknown.

Eradicate, evacuate, depreciate, disintegrate.

After all, we'll be less than oblivion,
Crawling feral through the shit and the spite.
Discontinued by man-made civilians,
We detonate like dynamite.
