Mechanical Prayers Songtext
von SUBMASQ

Win the war
Eat all your vegetables
Homework′s done
The taxes are paid
Shellshocked
Airlocked
Wheelchaired
Dead clocks
Your love is unarmed
Your lover is unheard

Control control
Your healthcare's growing old
Some thousand miles away shareholders marching through the cold
Successors crowing over heirlooms veiled with dirt


Why pray for water
When we could have milk
Straight from their mothers, the nipple, the filth
Why have consent when we can have tears?
Weekends in tears
Weekends and tears
Why pray for help when we can have blood?

My heart goes panic
It′s all mechanical

Caregivers and pacifiers
Teething rings and large desires
Hold me now
The wet nurse's infant
Never gets to crawl
Knowing all
Not our fault
I'm afraid all tomorrows taste like salt
As a wardroom pasted gold
As indulgence would absolve the hairless lice

Why pray for water
When we could have milk
Straight from their mothers, the nipple, the filth
Why have consent when we can have tears?
Weekends in tears
Weekends and tears
Why have concerns when we can have blood?
