Modern Business Hymns

Once the tranqs had hit, sleeping mind spazzed into the future.

Every night, dream of screaming death

Silence in a vacuum

What a way to die, pulled apart by the absence of what sustains us

I didn't dare go far

Years peeling faster

Modern Business Hymns

on the jump to Mars

If what I saw was true

We'll never make the grade

No matter what we saved

Cause to those that always have it

Money is no matter

And in these hungry times

Those trapped between stations

Will forget their manners

I didn't dare go far

Saving oxygen

For Modern Business Hymns

Before the Warp Guard

If what I saw was true

We'll never make the grade

No matter what we saved

Cause to those that always have it

Money is no matter

And in these hungry times

Those trapped between stations

Will forget their manners

Around a distant star still counting credit, coin, or shell by proxy

Stuck on earth

Eating dirt and growth from built-up respirators

While the rich sup on zebra mussels broiled in plankton

Wake me up

Let me live out my hours on a world that's on the level

The past is full of dead men

The future is a cruelty

Resign yourself

The past is full of dead men

The future is a cruelty

Resign yourself

Hey, have you heard them say,"Ultimate Success Today"?
