Crippled the cloud that once brought the rain
Good job, now we'll never see our coasts again
For no act of contrition will pardon the soul
Won't eat till we're hungry, won't drink till we're parched
But those of us, those of us, us of lesser gods
And today will be better, tomorrow they say
But those of us, those of us, us of lesser gods
Won't eat till we're hungry, won't drink till we're parched
Create now this hell where no devil could spawn
Take me back, take me back
A whisper's now sayin' what words used to speak
And those of us, those of us who forget where we're from
Take me back
Create now this hell where no devil could spawn
Let me show you hell on earth
Won't eat till we're hungry, won't drink till we're parched
Create now this hell where no devil could spawn
To the way life used to be
The damage now glistens, see how it glows
We don't want what you know but we know what we want
That's live and let live, we're all different that counts
But those of us, those of us, us of lesser gods
Yesterday is better than it is today
Take me back, take me back
To the way life used to be
Starve must the child, hungry sex on TV
Those of us, those of us who forget where we're from
But those of us, those of us who forget where we're from
Weep now for the tear, cold on the face
So come down from your heaven, Lord
Dark is the shallow man, proud without pride
Worn out comes the welcome from a truth that never lies
