Public Serpents - Effegies Of Life lyrics

rate me

Through these dying eyes, I can hear the light

Illusions running round the world inferno burning bright

It's a dismal scene, the stories so obscene

It's hard to concentrate on camped out preachers, right extreme

And should I even try to listen, forked tongues are hissing,

In my ears and the points keep going missing

Cause in the end, it's all the same, were filthy little leeches

Born of the outer reaches...

Whoa oh

With our guns in our hands and a battle cry yeah

Take it back to the streets, put your boots down there

The momentary lapse, society's collapse

Ideas are watered down so you cannot interact

With their baited breath, and all their cyber nets

Intrusion on your soul is always rated second best

And in the case of emergency, you smash the glass and see

The shattered fragments of your world are supposed to be

All set up in a line, confirming right on time

The devils assembly line...

Whoa oh

With our guns in our hands and a battle cry yeah

Take it back to the streets, put your boots down there

Drop your protest signs, start to plant the landmines

Social consciousness burns, these are effigies of life

So take that game face off

And show those lying eyes

The illusions fading quick

The tides of fate are rising high

You cannot stop

What was really meant to be

Try to see...

You wanna be a star, your never gonna get to far

Your living ghetto fabulous, soon to be a prisoner

Your chasing lies, with those starry puppy eyes

Ya signed the dotted line, you're in for a big surprise

Like a jackal staring down a loaded barrel

Your title shot is here kid, your life is in a peril

You count them off with your buckshot, 1, 2, 3,

Your caught in a cycle, your just an effigy

These are the effigies of life

Your life, my life, everybody's fucking life.<br />
