Flesh Rodeo - Idle Sentient Beings Lyrics

One man's coffin is one man's treasure
One man's sorrow is another man's pleasure
One man's killing in the name of righteous faith
One man's dying for a freedom state

And then, one day, we fail again

We fail

Close your eyes so I can see quite clear
Our lives reduced to mortal furniture
We're stuck in middle ground of self-concealing
Perhaps we're only idle sentient beings

And then, one day, we fail again

We fail
To interfere
To own our fear
To elevate
To be the ones to lead our way

Close your eyes, I can see
Army-built democracy
Bow your head, they'll pretend
All them wars will never end

Close your eyes, I can see
Rabbit-hole security
Shut your mouth, we can start
Something that will fall apart

Close your eyes
Shut your mouth
Bow your head

Just another sheep on the assembly line
In the slaughterhouse, motionless, eyes fixed on the bright
Display, add to the cart, hashtag, kill your senses
Know nothing of your wasted pathetic little life

We fail
F*ck the wars we never end
