Jeff Buckley - The Sky Is A Landfill lyrics

Watch the evil black the sky

The storm has ripped the shelter of illusion from our brow

This power is no mystery to us now

Leave your spirit genocide, the cancer you won't remove

We cast our funeral rose inside and bury the need to prove

Our mutilation is to gain from the system

Turn your head away from the screen, oh people

It will tell you nothing more

don't suck the milk of flaccid Bill K. Public's empty promise

To the people that the public can ignore

This way of life is so devised to snuff out the mind that moves

Moving with grace the men despise, and women have learned to lose

Throw off your shame or be a slave of the system

I see you take another drag

One more lost soul to raise your flag

The sky is a landfill

I see you take another drag

Let's see you take another drag

you like to dance to the rolling head of the adulteress

You sing in praise of suicide

We know you're useless

Like cops at the scene of crime

With your steroids and your feedbag and your stable and your trainer

I got a mail bomb for you, Mr. Strong Arm

Throw out the stones from all the cemetery homes

for the violence of a nation gone by

or the politics of weakness and the garbage dump of souls

That will now black the sky

Their yellow haze and crowds of eyes will plug up the mind that moves

Moving with grace the men despise, and women have learned to lose

We'll share our bodies in disdain for the system

I see you take another drag

one nation bends to kiss the hag

The sky is a landfill

I see you take another drag

I see you take another drag

I have no fear of this machine
