Stop the world Stop it now Make words mean what they used to The bedrock we stand on is Swept away Human meaning Set in sand Blind leading the blind When each generation learns culture anew Truth is redefined As the river runs on The water that carried you Stops for no one Stops for no one The universal illusion Of our objectivity Shrugged aside Shrugged aside indifferently Oh, it’s you versus all of human history Good luck The moment We were born Was when truth existed Our language attained perfection once Corruption should be resisted As the river runs on The water that carried you Stops for no one Stops for no one
