It’s like a mile taken from an inch
Tipped the shepherd who let you in
As Karma sings, “What goes around…”
Ashes, ashes…
Sympathize to victimize us
Wear disguises
Compromise our
Simple nature for your pleasure
“Integration,”
Clever, clever
Prophets, profits, sing your praises
Taint the Saints and curse the ages
Sleight of hand a swift distraction
Censor, censor all reaction
Wipe your prints from all the glasses
Make a plate to feed the masses
Headline reads “The Choice Was Ours”
Rob the Earth and run to Mars
It’s like a mile taken from an inch
Relocate but in the end
Don’t pretend it’s not an exit
You run from everything you’ve ever known
Reify to justify
Reify to justify
It’s like a mile taken from an inch
