Leftover Sermon - Dark Age Lyrics

Every generation tends to idolize some long lost golden age
Homer and Thucydides, Dylan, Hemingway, cheap nostalgia's all the rage
But with endless wars and attention whores and overall decay
Nostalgia's not a cheap as it may seem

Go

I can never do it but I always try
That's what it means to be young and alive
When all there's left to do is duck and pray
That's what it means to be in a dark age

Dark Age!
We are living in a dark dark age

They thought they were so clever as all civility fell away
"Well, I don't know, I guess its one of those things" is all that they would say
Now you're gonna work hard with a gun in your back for a bowl of rice a day
You're gonna find out what it means to be forced to believe

Go

I can never do it but I always try
That's what it means to be young and alive
Oligarchy rules what you think and say
That's what it means to be in a dark age

Dark Age
We are living in a dark dark age
