lyrics

The ignition to my car ignites a gas chamber.
In my rearview mirror, there are a million dying kids,
and there are a million more on the road ahead.
They are lying like dotted lines.

The system will live on long after they are gone.

We've traveled very far, across the countryside.
Steady as a tear, rolling down the cheek
of an emaciated girl, from the third world.
Her crying remains unheard!

The system will live on long after she is gone.

I wish I could stop this car before we reach the shore
of our sepulchre—it can make us clean.
Darling take my hand, we're gonna leave this land.
Now we're dying intertwined.

The system will live on long after we are gone.
