Flick Of The Finger - Beady Eye
Woke up this morning,
I was laid out flat on the dark side
With the moon and the room on the wrong side
I took a needle, sew myself right back at the seams
I saw my universal gleam
I see the wonder of life and look for the wall
Just taking a walk in the sun
In time, in just a second like the ghost of a bad idea
I feel myself getting the fear
Come on, have we decided if we like being part of the plan?
The sands are shifting and there's nowhere to land
It's on, it doesn't matter if all the best tickets are sold
And all the old stories are told
I know you're gonna tell me that you hear every word I say
But the future gets written today
Yeah the future gets written today
Don’t be deceived when our revolution has been finally
stamped out and they pat you eternally
on the shoulder and say that there’s no inequality
worth speaking of and no more reason for
fighting because if you believe them they will be completely
in charge in their marble homes and
granite banks from which they rob the people of the world
under the pretense of bringing them culture.
Watch out, for as soon as it pleases them they’ll send you out
to protect their gold in wars whose
weapons, rapidly developed by servile scientists,
will become more and more deadly until they
can with a flick of the finger tear a million of you to pieces.
