The 20th Century Feast and the Millenium Hangover Paroles

Progress has crippled our capacity;
Forever trying to simplify,
We complicate, we mistify
The world disposable defines our creed!

Debt, our only currency,
Constantly chained to damn economy;
Let's feed our dreams with bank accounts.
Worship the icon of the modern age!

Chains! The Twentienth Century destroyed our faith!
We're chained to fear!

Even though I know it's wrong
I don't want to sacrifice,
There's a part of me that's comfortable here.

In these niceties I drown,
I've got everything I want,
But my inner voice keeps whispering "Just let it go". It'd be hard to recognize
All the damage, all the lies,
Why would I want to observe the product I've become?

If I have to pay a price
Why redeem my faulty life?
I'll take everything, for here and now is all I've got.

Whatever we make up, we stand alone
Shadows on a wall aren't the real scene
We must break the...

Chains! The Twentieth Century debauched our age!
We conquered all!
Leaving the Earth profaned, our garbage spread!
I can't believe it hasn't been enough!

I don't know why I was born
But it's been so short a ride,
If I died now I would leave a worthless legacy.

I guess comfort isn't much,
If compared to what it costs,
Should I sacrifice or should I turn on...
...my new plasma screen?
