Lyrics

Word Burps

(Music - M. Novak. Lyrics - M. Novak, C. Webster)

Plains thunder overhead bombs away
There's nothing new about today
LONELY people wonder all about
Close your mouth when you shout

Emotions command your every move
Raw feelings exposed can't be smoothed
Hackers cause pain to helpless users
No one wants to believe the brave accusers

Your eyes only see what fits you
You only believe what you thought you knew
Music bleeds to the beat it's life's blood
Specific emotions get lost in the flood

All flows downhill with a plumbers burp
Many eyes on the screens users lurk
The first word we learn is no, given at birth
Creativity gives each a sense of self worth

If we agree there's no value when Its free
Then unconditional love what would it be
Authority questioned when the veil is lifted
Falsehoods exposed fear has shifted

Stop signs removed full speed ahead
Whizzing past the graveyard without dread
Water flows uphill when the norm has a tilt
Religion flows downhill a tsunami of guilt

Lizards lay lazily scales reflecting
Antenna are up truth detecting
Iron ore is the sword in the stone
Keeping friendships alive you're never alone
The Red Queen runs to stand still
If she stops then others eat her at will.

CHORUS:

Memes of the present Word Burps of our time
Shouted by all except for the mimes
Believed without any thinking
Our free will is shrinking

The sound bite machines attack every day
Clouding our judgment they lead us astray
Saturated with words looking for relief
Whatever’s in the burp turns into belief
