BRIDGE - Motorcycle Angel

I’m not afraid of dying, I’m just scared of being dead!
because the shining gates above are closed to somebody like me
so all i’ve got is my own self, and this apple from the tree
and like the snake my sin is i know who i am
and i know who you are, too, i know your kingdom is a sham
queens and kings on paper thrones with plastic crowns and mobile phones
they don’t want to break the cycle, they just want to break our bones
world trade, world bank, it’s the same rich thugs on the same old mission
it’s the aristocracy, and now it’s the inquisition,
we’ve got a legal system, there’s no justice to be seen
well, laws come from rulers, justice comes from within
the one’s on top are subject to the same laws as me and you
ha, we’re the subjects, and if we don’t want their fucking rule
then we can’t be their peasants on the factory floor
but it’s so hard to walk away when we can’t see anything more
we’ve gone too far too fast, but for all our new technology
we still can’t look back. it’s all happened before but we can’t see
this is the future, that’s what they’ve told us
but the yoke’s still on our shoulders
they keep their hands clean
and the truth about who’s right and wrong comes from glossy magazines
public opinion just feeds the guillotine
now listen: we are not your only hope
we will not hang by your rope
and we may not be standing tall
but at least we can stand at all
in the face….
of the flood that’s brought upon us by our own uncertainty
while the kings and queens of shit are their own deity
i demand…
a more important future vision
of dreams and fire, but opportunity is a monster
your laws do not apply to me
your schools do no good i can see
your temples and your churches,
no these are not my family
and i will not bow down
before the same old crown
as it rests on the heads of this new monarchy
the truth of right and wrong is nowhere to be seen
as the rats begin to whisper the talking heads begin to scream
no one will admit it but we all know what it means:
the beginning of the end
but there’s always another dream
and we’ve still got a lot to learn
like how to steal a light

New Monarchy

Faster
Ever faster
You wanna go forward
You wanna see the future before you die
Each day like the one before
Moving forward
Ever forward
Marching single file to the edge
Faster
Ever faster
You wanna go forward
You wanna see the future before you die
Toward that shining horizon
Salvation, annihilation
We don’t know which
Or seem to care
Silently embracing the technology in place of the
True progress we need to stay alive
Society impatiently moves frightenedly and carelessly
Toward a future so beautiful it shines
Pay no mind
Pay no mind
To what you left behind
Faster
Ever faster
You wanna go forward
You wanna go faster
You wanna see the future before you die
