lyrics

State of Disgrace

Find a vein and plunge the needle in.
Wire your brain up to the cold machine.
‘Cos if you don’t think, well then you don’t fear,
Uncertainties fade, the truth becomes clear.
‘Cos if you don’t feel, well then there’s no pain,
No trauma to bear, no tears, no heartache to face.

A state of disgrace,
Blind faith and apathy embrace.
Your place,
A state of disgrace:
Awake you sleepwalkers, awake.

Bow your head, absolve yourself from blame
Whist the deaths of millions prove your shame.
If what you believe is all’s preordained,
Immutable will then they can’t be saved
And what you believe sees you off the hook:
No guilt to be had, there’s no backward look to face …

A state of disgrace,
Blind faith and apathy embrace.
Your place,
A state of disgrace:
Awake you sleepwalkers, awake.

Knot that tie and sublimate yourself.
Bug that line – it’s a job and nothing else.
Once you stand outside, well then they don’t count,
The lives you lay bare: They’re ten to the pound
And in your despite, contempt in your heart,
You join the massed ranks of concentration camp guards:
Your fate.
