    Story Behind the Song
    The original lyrics for this came into existence about 4 years ago, but all attempts at accompanying music just didn't fit. Then one day, during an odd moment of inspiration (or was it insomnia) I came up with the basis for this version. I quite like it - its a lighter take on a serious point, sure, but it allows me to lay this demon to rest. Its dedicated to my parents for all their help. Definitely better on loud headphones...

    Lyrics
    Look up! Look up! Don't ever fucking look down
    Keep your head in the clouds and your heart in a shroud
    Leave the ground to the dreggs and the bums and the scum
    How sound, how profound, like your haze round the sun.

    More like the haze in your head, in your head, deadhead
    Do you know that you're dead, so fucking dead
    With a wife and some kids and the whore you adore
    You want more so you rape the Earth instead

    But you don't know, you can't see. Your paycheck is your being
    Does your new car and big house really give you some meaning?
    Do they mean a success, that somehow your the best?
    Wake the fuck up man! Hey!! This Earth is a mess!

    Its a mess motherfucker!
    Its a fuckin' mess!
    Its a mess motherfucker!
    Its a fuckin' mess!


    You are here but not alive
    Living in an empty empire
    Surrounded by corporate parasites
    Your whole world view is TV lies

    You are here but not alive
    Driven to content by another's desires
    Your false security is your brand new Christ
    Are you really just going to sit there and wait to die??

    Its not your fault you exclaim in disdain
    You didn't cause this pain, its insane
    How dare I maintain you're to blame for this shame
    When economies dictate the name of this game?

    Fuck off bitch! Which economics is this?
    The one that makes you more rich and keeps the poor in a ditch
    Or in jail 'coz they failed to be born in your niche
    So they earn shit and eat shit and breathe shit and live shit?


    Or the one which abuses everything that it touches
    And then broadcasts a news that lies and confuses
    About the state of the world and us as humans
    And sets moral standards that mean your devotion?

    Economics is human you fucking idiot!
    You can't blame it
    You are it!
    You are

    You are here but not alive
    Living in an empty empire
    Employed by corporate parasites
    Your whole world view is TV lies

    You are here but not alive
    Driven to content by another's desires
    Your false security is your brand new Christ
    Are you really just going to sit there and wait to die??

    Its bleeding [x2]
    Everything is crying
    A world shattered
    By the blind

    A strange erosion [x2]
    And warped heroism
    Our shallow wants
    The world's end

    Its end
    Its end
    Its end
    They are all the world's end


    You are here but not alive
    Living in an empty empire
    Enslaved by corporate parasites
    Your whole world view is TV lies

    You are here but not alive
    Driven to content by another's desires
    Your false security is your brand new Christ
    Are you really just going to sit there and watch everything die??
