Vulture City - Pages Lost Lyrics

Nothing to read, much less to know
Buzzwords and headlines, a lack of info
Complexities all lost on us
Intelligence is dangerous

So much to see, all lacking to learn
Fear the unfamiliar, please let it burn
Forever contented just to be bored
Are all the thoughts in your head truly yours?

Rearrange our history, pages lost and torn
A book is a loaded handgun in the house next door

Millions of minds, tired and weak
No voices raised, no stirring of sleep
No longer listening, knowledge is curtailed
Intellectual betrayal

Nuances abolished, death to metaphor
A book is a loaded handgun in the house next door

The earth will turn forever, our cries will be ignored
A book is a loaded handgun in the house next door
