You Turn the Screw
Exercise in Futility
Sense of entitlement enters the room
Air of superiority, the hell with you
Cause and effect, nothing can bloom
Crash and burn, you turn the screw
-------------------------------------------
Illness your weapon, hand me the broom
Pass on the dirt, the hell with you
My live now no life, only your doom
Crash and burn, you turn the screw
---------------------------------------------
Hope by the light of the silvery moon
Bad moon arising, the hell with you
Mirroring you, a descent into gloom
Crash and burn, you turn the screw
---------------------------------------------
Salvation my prayer must come soon
Darwin approves, the hell with you
Survival, the fittest, the task does loom
Crash and burn, you turn the screw
----------------------------------------------
Compassion is cruel when not in tune
Demands without end, the hell with you
Free as the dish ran away with the spoon
I breathe; you no longer turn the screw
