Technopagans

I watched technopagans baptized
by The Reptile in the sun
in that California valley
of Our Lady Silicon

Antichrists were bargain priced
and the sky was oh so clear
always sunny, always funny
and the end was always near

yea, I wander that antique store
of our culture time to time
the recession of ambition
zapped me right between the eyes

activistic figurines
effortlessly moral, wept
while new hatesmiths
forged the swords
that cut themselves across the neck

I don't love it
I don't hate it
I don't even know what's real
yea the more I understand
the more misunderstood I feel
I don't fight now
I'm alright now
it may be I never learn
they say you rise up from the ashes
why'd you ever have to burn

with a lizard's disposition
and a lab coat for a dress
lord they synthesized the genuine
we all were wedding guests

hairless wolves warned desperate sheep
revelation's rapture's nigh
the benevolence of predators
will always blow my mind

I don't love it
I don't hate it
I don't even know what's real
yea the more I understand
the more misunderstood I feel
I don't fight now
I'm alright now
it may be I never learn
they say you rise up from the ashes
why'd you ever have to burn

100 smoking deputies
tore off in search of jewels
where's the manhunt for our reason
the future rests in hands of fools

when that kismet astroid hits
bury me down in the crater
you can scream at the abyss
the abyss returns the favor

I don't love it
I don't hate it
I don't even know what's real
yea the more I understand
the more misunderstood I feel
I don't fight now
I'm alright now
it may be I never learn
they say you rise up from the ashes
why'd you ever have to burn

Hannah shot it
Joel sang it
Adam played it
