Dog Army - Thistopia (The Waste Land) Lyrics
Official




I wake after a dream-filled sleep
That nightmare ended, but the feelings keep
Concrete is where the homeless lay
You can be warm, but you have to pay
A songbird sings on the windowsill
But the roaring traffic mutes its trill
And I am thinking, as I am fading
And I am thinking, as I am fading
They call it crime, but no one cares
It's just the means to get your share
A baby cries for more heroin
Gives a voice to her veins and his mother's sins
Between two buildings hear a shout
It fills the alley then dies out
And I am thinking, as I am fading
And I am thinking, as I am fading
Run away, run away, run away, run away
To the brambles and the birches, leave it all behind
They plod and rot in squalor
While the poor, they get in line
Churned with all the concrete
Burst and ground down, powder fine
While, the rich, they sip the water
From a sinking ship
Run away, run away, run away, run away
Where the trees o'erhang the river
And the starlight can still shine
Where no life is ever wasted
And every death is to survive
Run away, run away, run away, run away
The father is a ghost and a name
He says, you can't mistreat what you never claimed
I'm gonna shed these city-stained clothes
Into the woods where there are no woes

Concrete is where the homeless lay
You can be warm, but you have to pay
A songbird sings on the windowsill
But the roaring traffic mutes its trill
And I am thinking, as I am fading
And I am thinking, as I am fading
They call it crime, but no one cares
