Live your life in a red balloon

Take the colours and paint them on the moon

Chop down the trees

And pave the land

Dig a big hole & put your head into the sand

Drink your arrogance & taste the pain

Better to be blind than to save the day

Politics is spin and celebrity is king

The shallow are all hailed 

And fame is something craved

And you could work for 7 days a week

And you’d never see the sun

You could live for a thousand years 

And never feel the rain on your face

We build a future when you cannot see the sky

The rain is acid and we need drugs to get us high

Where beauty is never seen 

Because it’s own by a company who project it on a screen

So pour me whisky to wash away the fear

I’m adrift in an ocean of despair

And in the pleasure of excess

I find the world is in a mess

And in this chaos I hope we find a cure

And you could work for 7 days a week

And you’d never see the sun

You could live for a thousand years 

And never feel the rain on your face
