  • It appears that we have reached the edge, that zenith where stimuli and comatose collide
    Forty years ago, the man proclaimed the age of the gross to be upon us, and even though the man was destroying our heritage and insulting our intelligence
    That era has become very real
    We labor for pleasure and abhor the guilt of pressure
    My generation will go down as the architects of contemporary disgust
    Some have fought and died
    Others have allowed the strong to be butchered for a price they themselves don't care about and will never understand
    I myself am beleaguered by the selfish face of a kind of man that is not mankind
    Distrust in information
    Fundamentalism of opinion
    Catastrophic boredom, and a fanatical devotion to that which does not matter.
    Where is your glory now, people?
    Where are your gods and politicians?
    Where is your shame and salvation?
    You rage for no reason because you have no reason

    What have you ever fought for?
    What have you ever bled for?
    The face of the earth is scarred with the walking dead
    The age of the gross is a living virus
    This is the future you have created
    This is the world you have set ablaze
    All your lies are coming true
    All freedom is lost
    All hope is gone Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind
