Million Dead

Million Dead - I Gave My Eyes To Stevie Wonder lyrics

rate me

credit cards, sealed lifts and covert sanitation,

processed meat and a national waste disposal system:

the scale of deception begs the question what it is

we're burying.

cosmetics, contact lenses and plastic surgery: bulk

orders for yet more imperial finery. double-glazing for

phasing out suspicions that this is really happening.

it seems this season the cool kids are sporting white

canes and braille zines.

and when i close my eyes am i invisible?

an embarrassed smile and you assume that i'm being

rhetorical.

but if i don't see it die this animal is invincible.

i won't catch your eyes tonight, i will stutter my way

through naked poverty until i'm across the street

(safe).

i justified giving my eyes to stevie wonder with some

spiel about a sense of wonder to discover, but i was

hiding under cover of the excuse of helplessness.

i fell in line with the cool kids and spared my eyes

instead of change.

i just called to say that someone moved my furniture

around, and so i fell down, and i hatched a plan here

sprawled on the ground.

so hey, what do you say, we pack our things and call it

a day. some come round, let's lose that frown, and you

and i will leave this town behind
