WAR OF WORDS LYRICS

"Dependency"

they thought it was a joke, had a laugh, they called me the neo-luddite fool
this debilitating technology it was no threat at all
i stared up at the peak i couldn’t reach ‘was out of breath my knees were weak
electric stairs once took me there but now i’m on my own

i thought of the people i could call but only conjured a list of names
the codes to carry out my voice i just could not recall
so i cried out for anyone anyone that could hear
if i wasn’t deaf i realized now i had no voice at all

is it getting easier to live and breathe
they’ll do it for you if you feel the need
beware of everything convenience breeds

as i walked down the endless aisles of cravings and prepackaged goods
wondering which will be consumed and which will be tossed away
i reached for a new piece of the sky with half-chewed pieces at my feet
without a thought i let ‘em rot cause there was more to take

is it getting easier to feed our greed
is it getting hard to limit what we need
beware of everything convenience breeds

dependency

in attempt to find cures you’ve opened the doors
to creating all the problems your solutions were for
to call it a rat race was an insult to rats
it’s the human race that keeps us going nowhere fast

i stood out in the freezing rain, i waited for a bus that never came
am i the one to blame the faithful little fool
i counted on a colored line to get me to my bread on time
too late to use these legs of mine i let my stomach groan
