lyrics

Unconsoled youth, pick up your spades
Go outside and dig your graves
Or go dig wells, because these days there’s only
these two ways still left open to you
And as you dig, best pay no mind
To all the voices there behind
Who can’t understand why you don’t pay any mind
What they passed down to you

And the futures of today
Have debts they’ll never pay
And the ‘morrow will be strange

My friends you are the silent scream
Of those who’re born into a screen
Out of a world that has been sold
to sociopathic deal-makers
And though we hear their drums of death
If you all have anything left
Go plant a tree and watch it grow
For these things shall inherit the earth

And the futures of today
Have debts they’ll never pay
And the ‘morrow will be strange

And as the proud draw up the maps
Tell you your names and slap your backs
You play their games, or else reclaim
Creation from her slave-masters
So unclench your fists and raise your heads
Knead the dough and bake the bread
Open the doors, welcome the guests
And conspire round the table my friends

And the futures of today
Have debts they’ll never pay
And the ‘morrow will be strange
