boatman's toll - the fat is in the fire lyrics

we are as doomed as the youth, bound by a truth they’ll never grasp, finding no use in dwelling on the dealings of the past
we hold this warm stone, it only chills us to the bone
pretend to be asleep and restrained
pray they’re far enough away not to hear your chains rattling as we dance in their open graves
pretend to be alive every day
pray
believe even a slave can emanc-p-te
battling their control over future and fate
the chattel is rising
now father and foster and nurture this hate into flame
designed to drain the beating lifeblood from us all
these fast-food politics hide in their marble halls
this nation’s burning, no water from the well
this moral poverty sp-wning our new h-ll
freedom isn’t free and isn’t fair
the dream has disappeared into the air
stripped and sold to bidder and to buyer
the fat is in the fire
and we let the flames rise higher
the fat is in the fire
straight into the darkness of the night, the left follows the right
the right follows the left
we’ve beat this horse to death
let’s beat it once again until there’s nothing left
til there is nothing more
have we not seen this all before?
