Misdirection Lyrics by Bad Breeding

Human Capital

2022

Armed with old illusions, warm glimmers of conspiracy
They spilled the flair of former glories, glints of shining victories
And in the face of marbled truths you went marching to your end
As if the crowning joy of life was to dress your body in her flag

Self-immolation
Maggie's proud old willing boys

Prostrate and strafed for numbing dreams, stay nestled in the pocket
Ruled by consent from a shroud of fear - if it ain't for you, it'll be all me
A show of strength for improvement: pure camouflage for dead solutions
Striving to be defined all for middling recognition

First up the ladder:
Let them rot
Mugged by ambition
Puppets of tradition
Plied with one hand
Worked by the other
Every dog will have its day
Conned again

Up on the hillside of morality
Are gifts nailed to crosses
Misplaced trust in loyalty

Self-immolation
Maggie's proud old willing boys
New-money turncoats
Maggie's proud old willing boys
