Million Dead Follow

Honestly, why the hell are you standing there
And what the hell are you waiting for?
Your expectant smile is starting to get on my nerves
So tell me now, if you're so fucking rationalist
So ruthlessly atheist, why the fuck are you a positivist?

It doesn't work because honestly, if you ignore the terminology
Mainstream political philosophy grew out of Christian teleology
Despite the claims on the packaging
All the liberals and the communists, all the people making promises
Are pigs to a man and their premises are all the same

Everything is getting worse, which hardly comes as a surprise
No one guaranteed anything else, so dry your eyes
And pull yourself together because things will keep on getting worse
The guys in white will never win and I doubt we'll ever heal the world

But we can begin by learning how to deal with the conflicts
That arise between us, instead of pretending they'll go away
It's better to light a candle than to fantasize about a sun
