You have a job to do
One you can’t afford to lose
Nobody does it better
Everybody does the same
All politics are local
Are politics as usual
I hate the job you’re doing
In the service of those you serve?
You service your own interests
Is it true that nothing gets through
‘Till there’s something in it for you?
We want you to stand and be counted
But you want to stay in your seat
Pointless
Mindless
Selfish
Callous
Useless
Baseless
You know
I know

Doing it to myself again
With the same choices again
Counting on different results
The signs pointed the same way
I promised myself, no way
I wouldn't make the same mistake
The last time
Wasn’t the last time
And what of the next time?
Burn me twice, shame on me
For playing the fool repeatedly
And what of the next time?

This depression-era game
Should have taught restraint
Instead we invent
Fantasiac real estate
Fate made by the luck of the draw
From a deck stacked by the house
Paper money paid for the corner jail o
On the other side of town
Unruly costs of poor health
Overstepping the bounds of wealth
For those who don’t make the rules
Empty houses on the other side of town

Power games
Pulled back and forth
Between two people
Multiplied forever
Waiting for something to happen
Momentum wasted
Waiting for something to happen
Disconnected?
Focused on minutia!
Ineffectual?
Spread too thin!
Hoping for something to happen
Momentum spent
Hoping for something to happen
Leaving to others
What I can’t do myself
Watch from the sidelines
Backing away from concern
Cut the head off the snake
What movement is left in the body?

Drugs of Faith recommends:
This band is from Poland and they call themselves avant-grind. It's one of the latest examples of how good they are. We did a split CD with them.
