village of the damned

someone
come over here and wake them up from their sleep
I’m just passing by
I never said I’d be in for keeps
how can I rely on counterfeit notions of life?
I see empty looks and hear sad, robotic replies

where do you think you’re going?
where are you even from?
a country has been doped and duped
and cheated all along

dead or round the bend
is better than alive and well
when the price for wealth is life in hell

I was gullible and I was easily deceived
I don’t live to work, but I do work to live
but I can get away in a way that you just can’t
cos I have seen better than this village of the damned
