lyrics

We're floating free without risk or reward,
unchained from the sun by the mushroom cloud.
The guns we hold at each others heads
ensure our lasting peace.

Instead of fascists and factions we have fashion and fads,
but why dress up if there's nowhere to go?

We're not marching forward so much as marking time.
Our business plan is to roll the dice.
No matter where it lands the result is the same:
our companies now are to big to fail.

Instead of fascists and factions we have fashion and fads,
but why dress up if there's nowhere to go?

I'm a cardboard cutout behind the counter
with plastic smiles I placate the petty bourgeois.
For these people I am merely dressed
for business-casual prostitution.

As scary as this all may sound,
let's embrace this eternal return.
