Importer - The Soup Lyrics

You don't know what you can do for a soul
You cast your heart out while we're guarding our own
I picture you tending the garden while we're swimming in the soup
(Another half truth)
So I take a step back to regard the shoulders on which you grew

Tear down the idols and look upon their wounds
And I beat them senseless

Still, wages stagnate
(I can't see, are they blown away?)
So we'll keep creeping around at the edge of the shade
Chipping away at mountains only we can see
Snake bitten, and we're wearing it like a lampshade
In all the world's festivities
Just as long as they don't think that we're on the same path
And that'll keep us going
While we string along
And come around to it
While we're swimming in the soup
While we're waiting for
What's sure to come
Some kind of breakthrough
Somewhere

Or are we just senseless?
