Sakes Alive lyrics : "Image Of A Modern Man"

At the center of a holy mess
We encase the realm with pavement
Scheme, breed and %#@!

And then feed off the dead
Then, we're to be delivered
To a promise land

That holy tomes had said we're owed
To just do it again


So whistle while you work
And then shuffle home to bed
Pry open god's empty stomach

Lay down your tired head
It's in your destiny
To %#@! out two or three kids

Remove yourself from the world around
With a car and mini-mansion


This is your empire!
This is your carved slice of the earth!
This is what you're owed!

So stand tall and reach
From sea to shining sea
And envelop everything


So whistle while you work
And then shuffle home to bed

Pry open god's empty stomach
Dreaming of the life you live...


(With your feet
You walk on the backs
Of an entire world of indigenous meek

Your legs tremble
Standing always attentive
To a system perpetuated

By greed
This chest and arms of ours
Is the blood and brawn

Of a continuing slaves world
And this head
Is what convinces us

To never give a damn...)
