lyrics

Glory be to the rising son of opportunity’s ghost
You look both ways when you cross the disadvantaged
And the destitute
Wave upon wave of advantage
You never planned it
You just showed up smiling at the coast
You’re coasting along at the cost of real people’s lives
Alone at the most

About your lost relationships you keep reposting
And you’re trying different clothes
You try to shed a tear and tremble
But you only feel what you know
So you canvass hard for felicitations
At the click of a ghost

Is this what you want?
Is this what you need?

Let the gentle waters lap me up
Let the healing begin
Let bygones be bygones
Let the funeral parlor know
Which hole you want to bury me in

Now I think I’ve made it
I’m chewing consecrated wafers
Lifted to a higher post
