One-Eyed Lyrics


Kill this channel

It needs to be switched

I offer a vendetta in exchange

For a split second to blink

In exchange for

A split second to blink

Dragged from view

So no split second to blink

Hide the hovels

Give not a split second to blink

Kill this channel - less for more

Lifestyle stink

I spread out saved silver

In exchange for the broken spirits

Toward whom I won't blink

I stockpile for the impending...

What?

But who's paying?

Who is paying?

But who's paying

Lift the lid and it dawns

Who's paying?

Bereft, desperate, the belittled

The devalued to no value

They are paying

Should stoop ever lower

Bow and scrape - they are paying

So take a split second to know

That abolition didn't lift them

Off their knees

From plantation, transplantation

Behind suburban curtains

The upshot of their exertions

A vacuum-packed ambivalence

Get them off their knees!

I stockpile for the impending...

What?

But who's paying?

Who is paying?

But who's paying

Lift the lid and it dawns

Who's paying?

Bereft, desperate, the belittled

The devalued to no value

They are paying

Should stoop ever lower

Bow and scrape
