One decade now
Living under the halogen glow
Servant to the clock
Commuting in the shadow

Feeding on the filth
That vomits from the screen
Why is it so hard to wake
And so hard to sleep

A black spot marks on the horizon
It’s been growing all week
The dogs are barking
As we walk staring at our feet

Can’t see the forest through the trees

Year after year
Climbing over bodies to the top of the pile
In the hunt for power
Beg and lie, scrape and smile
Bite the dirt
As the rug slips from beneath your feet
Pathetic
Karmic justice in a flash of heat
