Ethics Morality And Truth
Are
The first three things
Thrown out of the
Economic window
Of ivory towers
Guarded by the wolf
In wolf’s clothing
While
The sheep bleet nonsense
In a dull rhythmic hum
Drifting in like a
Soft hallelujah chorus
Mixed in with the
,
Clinking of counted coins
The lilt of laughter
Suffocating the stench
Of greed and corruption
.
The above triggered the below
Perchance ivory towers mentioned
Or vice-versa impossible sequencing
When everything is happening at once
.
“Be Quick Or Be Dead”
“Covered in sinners and
Dripping with guilt
Making your money
From slime and from filth
Parading your bellies
in ivory towers
Investing our lives in
Your schemes and your powers
You got to watch them
– be quick or be dead
Snake eyes in heaven
– the thief’s in your head
//
See… what’s ruling all our lives
See… who’s pulling the strings…
I bet you won’t fall on your face
Your belly will hold you in place
The serpent is crawling
Inside of your ear
He says you must vote for
what you want to hear
Don’t matter what’s wrong
As long as you’re alright
So pull yourself stupid and
Rob yourself blind
You got to watch them
– be quick or be dead
Snake eyes in heaven
– the thief’s in your head
//
Be quick… or be dead!
Be quick!”
– Iron Maiden
