mil-spec - too long at the fair lyrics

just like anyone who sees through gimlet eyes
just like anyone who’s alive
i searched for a sp+ce where life’s just a mind game
but i’ve been too long at the fair
that’s where the best minds of my generation
took their pleasure and their profit and gave their lives
and sometimes i can’t help but think about
what we might have achieved
if we hadn’t so blindly believed
in that know+it+all bohemian drеam

too long at the fair i’ve spent
lost in thе fog of the years
and all the rarefied things
that try as i might
could only fail to succeed
to be a comfort to me
so cold the nights misspent
in the loam of my youth
cultivating a spurious faith
in the power of taste
to be a route of escape

from all the long, hard work
set for us at birth
it’s gonna be a long, hard road
back to planet earth
another year, another pass
through the crowded corridors of the archive stacks
another round of laments
for a dream that’s dead
but in an earlier phase, a youthful haze
the wishing well was only just half+dry
it was the height of the age
of the self+made sage
and there was reason to believe
everyone would be
a muse+kissed authority
in a free land

turn on the news today
see all the creative ways
by means of which a souls gets saved
in a free land

it’s gonna be a long, hard road
back to planet earth
think of all the long, hard work
set for us at birth

our precious expertise
now debased currency
in the marketplace of prestige
in a free land
think of what else we might have achieved
