about

It is a remix and remaster of the song I released as a single last year, "Omniscient", but doesn't have many changes from the original other than some tweaks and fixes. The video is an adaptation of the original video, which is still available. It was filmed near my home on my regular bus ride home after work when I happened to look and was amazed to see one of the most awesome post-rain sunsets I've ever witnessed. I was also lucky to get help with the track from some amazing musicians, to whom I will always be in debt. I hope you have as much fun with this song as I did!!

lyrics

I know the world is unfair – it’ll crush my dreams, but I just don’t care
I know you treat me so mean – I’m just another meal of soylent green
I know the world is unkind – it’ll steal your soul and rob you blind
I know you think I’m insane – c’mon baby let’s go singing in the acid rain

You say you don’t really care – that computers have become self-aware
You say you hate rock ‘n’ roll – but you know-modern music ain’t got no soul
You say the world is to blame – I suppose you think-that this is just a game
You try to act really cool – but it’s clear to me that you’re just a fool

Breathe despite the palpitation, you will need your concentration
Coming to the destination, time for your re-education
Living in a fabrication, nothing left but self-immolation
I could make one observation, but it’s all mental masturbation

We’re scared to step out of line – serpentine, number nine, running out of time
We live our lives in a hole – searching for somebody with a bit of soul
Don’t know what it all really means – since it don’t add up to a hill of beans
We try to do what we can – not sure why, ‘cuz no one really gives a damn

Living in the radiation, of our mental retardation
Blood pumped full of medication, prep us for our termination
Hear the demon invocation, of our social constipation
Just a useless condemnation, we will have our vindication

Drowning in your-cup of sorrow, face a bloodshot-hell tomorrow
End your earthly-days on skid row, feels just like some-stupid game show
Comes the time-you have to let go, step onto the-astral plateau
Ask yourself “where-does the time go?”, cosmic tantric-memory flow
