Viva la Persistence歌词

[00:06.40]I dreamed I thanked Scott Ian for persistence of time
[00:09.93]Back when Steve and Eva died that album changed my life
[00:12.87]It was a package of pure darkness tied up with a silver string
[00:16.50]Delivered by a fast train rearranging how I think
[00:19.83]He said "I can't believe you even know that I exist,
[00:23.32]I've got all of your albums and I think you are the best"
[00:26.55]He started to cry and I started to laugh
[00:29.99]I gave him a hug and he gave me his autograph
[00:32.18]
[00:33.57]Reeling in my disbelief, I know that it was just a dream
[00:39.79]All the covers that I see are different from the books I read
[00:46.26]
[00:47.01]Everything is crumbling around me
[00:49.99]Why does everything cost so much money?
[00:53.62]Could somebody please help out my family?
[00:56.61]My mom needs hearing aids, new shoulders, and new legs
[00:59.85]My dad needs a break he works all day every day
[01:03.63]My brother needs a place and a job where he can make
[01:06.71]Enough money to take care of his baby
[01:09.55]
[01:11.33]Here's a simple dissertation on a complex situation
[01:17.75]Money and intimidation and mass graves make strong foundations
[01:24.27]For the giant corporations that own all the TV. stations
[01:30.54]Telling us to take vacations to their big theme park plantations
[01:37.61]Rather than to hearts of nations
[01:39.25]
[01:41.04]Where we might meet people on the street who say
[01:44.47]"I don't want my MTV 'cause it brought viva to its knees"
[01:50.65]And mom and pop are begging "please, globalization's killing me"
[01:57.47]While we think that they think they need all of the things we think we need
[02:04.24]Like martha stewart shams and sheets and sugar free powdered iced tea
[02:10.81]Vanilla coke, lemon pepsi, friends episodes on DVD
[02:18.52]
[02:31.71]I went to see the doctor of psychiatry
[02:35.05]Weapons of mass instruction finally broke me
[02:37.98]He said "Act your age, don't be afraid, take two of these.
[02:41.27]Now listen real hard, put down that guitar,
[02:44.30]Don't be a retard, be all that you can be"
[02:48.08]
[02:48.73]The things he said I could be were laid out right in front of me
[02:54.60]Would I choose deep fried apathy, mcnuggets where my balls should be,
[03:01.27]Or super sized conformity? I walked away and I'm still me
[03:08.04]Free to go ******* crazy, free to know why I'm angry
[03:15.06]One and one and one is three and you and me is all I need
[03:21.88]Singing songs, drawing cocks, picking locks to locked doors
[03:32.28]Find deflated hearts, and pump them up
[03:37.99]
