The car is on fire and there’s no one at the wheel

And no one tries to put on the brakes at all

We’re trapped in the belly of this sick machine

The radiator smoking, there’s no air to breathe

And no one tries to put on the brakes at all

One by one like stars from the sky they fell

And everyone turned their backs, wondering to themselves

I’m on a strange journey I didn’t choose to take

Where I’m going I don’t want to think

But no one tried to put on the brakes at all

Your final breath will be an eastern wind

To blow through the valley of death that we’ve carved in this land

We’re accomplices all

It’s all beyond our control

So innocent when the hammer falls

And nobody tries

Nobody tries

No one even fucking tries!

Accelerating through industrial haze

Past the death camps and the marketplace we’ve lost our way

I hope we burn up in the wreckage

Rather than live another day

In vain in a world without frontiers

We’re served our just desserts:

Just deserts, in burning thirst

And no one tries to put out the flames at all.
