Spectral Commissioner

From the album Buy One, Get One Free by Jeremy Gratton

i’ve got nothing more to say to you men
we’ve got fear in our pockets and hate in our hands
as the screens get darker, the giants will fall
swirl and die for the sins of us all

as night approaches, the vessels envisioned
we’ll crawl on up out of our prisons
and scream and shout and whisper and whine
as the crowds die down due to genocide

i’m a good american, i love my country
yet, i’m smart enough to fear its corporate greed
as the hands on deck reach for liberty’s neck
many are there to defend and protect

while you leaders sit in dining rooms
drink and eat lots of food
talk about stocks and bonds
and claim the economy is strong
while good people fight and die
just to save your hides

you’re so wrong

“there’s got to be something better than all of this.”
