[00:45.51]in a forest of stone underneath a corporate canopy
[00:49.14]where the sun rarely filters down
[00:52.68]the ground is not so soft
[00:54.30]it is not so soft
[01:03.90]they build buildings to house people making money
[01:08.10]or they build buildings to make money housing people
[01:11.76]it's true, like a lot of things are true
[01:14.31]foraging from a phone booth on the forest floor
[01:16.62]that is not so soft
[01:18.36]i look up, it looks like the builidings are burning
[01:20.64]but it's just the sun, setting in the windows
[01:24.93]the solar system calling an end to another business day
[01:29.61]eternally circling, signalling the rythmic clicking on and off
[01:32.94]of computers
[01:43.50]the pulse .. of the american machine
[01:44.82]the pulse .. that draws death dancing
[01:47.01]out of anonymous side streets
[01:48.51]you know, the ones that always get dumped on
[01:50.64]but never get ploughed
[01:55.02]it draws death dancing out of little countries
[01:57.21]with funny languages
[01:58.11]where the ground is getting harder and it was
[01:59.67]not that soft before
[02:13.95]but those who call the shots
[02:15.99]are never in the line of fire
[02:17.94]why
[02:18.33]when there's life for hire out there
[02:20.31]if the flag of truth were raised
[02:21.84]we could watch every liar rise to wave it
[02:25.05]here we learn america like a script
[02:27.42]playright, birthright - same thing
[02:28.80]we bring ourselves to the role
[02:32.19]we're all rehearsing for the presidency
[02:34.26]i always wanted to be commander in chief
[02:36.93]of my own one woman army
[02:46.65]but i can envision the mediocrity of my finest hour
[02:51.24]it's the failed america in me
[02:53.67]it's the fear that lives
[02:54.87]in a forest of stone, underneath the corporate canopy
[02:57.60]where the sun rarely filters down
[03:00.54]and the ground
[03:06.96]is not so soft......
