lyrics

Money is the first trick and consciousness the second
A target is acquired and an agenda is reckoned
An island full of sycophants is remedied and beckoned
To an end of global conflict propagated through depression
The people want a hero but Cernunnos fears recession
He cannot string his hunting bow without government concession

Wind and the rain wind and the rain
Rolling over the valleys and soaking the age
Wind and the rain wind and the rain
A generation drowned in the wind and the rain

I’ve spoken to the mother and she says her core is rotten
Our island floats on stolen blood and histories forgotten
Join the army of the damned they’ll get you on conscription
The body and the mind reside in consumer confliction
The good lord washed away our sins and gave us free prescriptions
A drug for every malady with inaccurate descriptions

It’s cold and it is lonely in the January weather
Your safety net is full of holes but times are surely better
Medicine is metaphor, security the fetter
Enforcement is a way of life that swings each sullen letter
The language of the bureaucrat disguises something better
