Legendary Pink Dots - Junkyard

The big fish eats the small fish
while the master warms the grill.
He’ll invite you out for dinner but will leave
you with the bill. You’ll pay in slow instalments til the shirt’s stripped
from your back.
And you, the great free thinker,
will be well and truly trapped.

Kingdoms come and empires fall,
Left hanging for the final call, when master’s bored and takes
It all ……

I’m ok with the concept
but despise the callous fiction.
Don’t kid me that my quiet voice
can change the bigger picture.
It’s set in stone.A solemn promise for the precious few.
Who shuffle cards and wipe us off the soles
Of their new shoes.

So better keep your head down..
Just keep things to yourself..
Creatures great and small will not tolerate your
Rebel yell…
